Hi Guys!
Just new to this blogging so bear with me! I have a partly completed RCR 1967 GT40 Mk4 which I bought in from the States about 6 months ago and having just finished remodeling my wife's house and my garage I'm now just getting into working on it! I have a few questions on a bunch of stuff which I have emailed Fran about but he's been busy so I'm still awaiting for his reply!
The body has had no work done to it as it is in 'straight out of the mold' condition and in fact the previous owner (now deceased) had some different ideas to me on how it should be mounted but all good nothing that can't be fixed. It was fun a Xmas as I told my family that I didn't want any gifts as I had '86 boxes' in the garage to open and catalogue so it's been a real buzz! It has all the bits to certify it for the road with AC and lift kits so I'm working towards that but here in NZ LTNZ (that stands for Land Transport) have their own idea on how a 'low volume' car should be built! Bruce McLaren (a beloved Kiwi) would turn in his grave if he new what our government now puts us through!
It has a Ford 5L Coyote EFI fuel injected motor bench tested to 440hpSAE@6500 and it's hooked up to a 6speed Porsche G96.5 box with LSD Giken Superlock and Wilwood brakes! Here is a Dropbox link to a photo of the working end of her! Dropbox - IMG_2251_1 (1).jpg
Look forward to talking to you all as I progress!
