The parts spread out represent the start of my next project....not sure what it will end up as but options could be;
Mclaren M8B road car
GT40
Lola T70
or an M8 based coupe similar to the M6 road registered.
I have just purchased a completed rear suspension set up from a Holden SS Commodore and stripped out the hub and axle components ready to fabricate the rear uprights. This car will have an LS1 mated to ? another Audi / Porsche transaxel with conventional trailing arm suspension and shocks. Front suspension will be inboard shocks via push rods with front uprights probably from some rear wheel drive Toyota /Nissan/ Mazda van. Any suggestions would be welcome. Chassis design will be similar to many tube frame GT40`S with some changes. At some stage I will need to firm up what I am building how ever all these cars have similar wheelbase and width is easy to accommodate. Progress will not be rapid unless money some how becomes surplus or a buyer steps up.This is designed to keep me busy and not get a real job!
Any thoughts or ideas welcomed.
The idea of an M8B coupe has a lot of appeal, given that I have the moulds and putting a top on would be a simple matter.
Let the job begin.
Cheers
