Frank's KVA Build

Had to make a little change to a bolt inside the sump but for the rest it fitted like a glove.
So i took the empty transhouse fitted it and did put it in the car so the engine is in for the first time.
Now i can change the crossmember to fit it to the new topcover from the zf
so again a little progress

Looking good Frank....

Once the trans is bolted in you will be nearly there.....what other mods do you have planned? Great thread BTW.

thanks Andy,
i'm waiting on my front uprights and back axles from john wisher
he also makes the adapters for the ap brakes at the back on my pantera uprights so if those are finished (in about three weeks) i can change my front suspension arms and get the geometry right
I also started to make a frame to support the dashboard i'll post som pictures next week

And this weekend i'm going to frank catt and john wisher to get my suspension parts and other bits.
Is anybody working on his car this sunday who i might visite who lives in the neighbourhood off frank or on the way from frank towards dover.

Frank
 
Great thread Frank. Thanks for taking the time to take photos and write up posts so we can enjoy the build the easy way, without us having to do all the hard work.

And I really want a hotted up Bambino, too. Ship it over to Oz if you get tired of it. Not so keen on the other one, beautiful as it is.

aaaaa..I see only now the 2 pictures for mee:)

soo nice to see also there a so BAD cinquino and the giulietta spider.
Dad had such car,was a masterpiece with girls, unfortunately every drop of rain can enter in the car from every point of the body.
Other times..other cars.

Restore that Cinquino (595 abarth?)it is definitely too cool and too bad (and increasing a lot in value:)
 
hallo frank, ich schreibe dir heute auf deutsch und ich hoffe du kannst das lesen.auf dem brembo handbremssattel muß außen eine nummer darauf stehen die mit 22 ....anfängt die sollte ich haben denn ich möchte diese teile auch in meiner lola einbauen. gruß meinolf

If you come back from Frank on sunday and are arround the Belgian/Dutch border to Breda in the afternoon,note there is Polo event where there will be Classic Cars (I will be there with my car).It is happening in Brecht (from Antwerp to Breda).

Send my regards to Frank.I will be at his place on Oct 1th for my MOT.

Best regards
