Hi, yes it is.

Yes, of course, however, it does appear that you're in you're in California, and I'm in England, so possibly a little far...

I'm about to have some major work done on my house as it's suffering from subsidence. As part of this I need to get my RCR kit either built, or sold. I've had it on the for sale page for a while, but was wondering if anyone had any personal recommendations for individuals or companies who...

A little bump and a price drop. £48,000 ono, is that enough to tempt anyone? If I go any lower it'll be more worthwhile for me to put it into storage while I'm havinhg work on my house done...

Just a little bump for this, treat yourself to an early xmas present ;)

Thanks. The shifter came with the car when I bought it, so I'm afraid I don't know the source; however the gearbox rod shift adaper came from Mark SIbley @ GT Racing.

Kit: RCR GT40 Mk1 Deluxe Engine: Ford 302 (1980-84). Edlebrock E-Street Performer heads, matching cam with lifters, Performer Carb and inlet manifold. GT 40 tubular exhaust manifolds. Gearbox: Fully rebuilt 6 Speed Audi 01E transaxle with Limited Slip Diff, flywheel with heavy duty clutch...

Many thanks for the replies. It looks like I'll be okay with new heads then. Just don't want to get the registration wrong and end up with a Q plate; at least withe the IVA you can have more than one attempt... Cheers, Matthew

Just thinking ahead here... The UK DVLA states that for a reconditioned part (in my case the engine) "you can show that the part has been reconditioned to an ‘as new’ standard, in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines". I've just bought a 302, but it has Aluminium heads and an Edelbrock...

Thanks Andy! I've been searching and must have missed that one. It looks from the photos like the small brackets are curved, whereas mine are straight? I've had several attempts at dry fitting the brackets and haven't been able to get them anywhere close. Hopefully I'll get a chance next...

I'm struggling with attaching the parking brake mount to the hub. I have some parts, but suspect I'm missing some bits too... Also the build manual seems to have an updated pre-fabricated mount. No matter how I try to arrange the bracket and lugs I can't seem to get them to line up with the...

Hello all, It's a bit cheeky of me as I introduced myself around about 4 years ago and then disappeared due to lack of time... but ... I'm back. I've just restarted work on my RCR40, which was used as display car at the Birmingham NEC in 2006... Looking forward to getting hints and tips...

That's very kind of you, especially the part about cake. I won't be starting until next year, but seeing one in the flesh will be of great help. You're also most welcome to drop into mine if you fancy a look at the RCR, just send me a PM. Cheers, Matt

Thanks Fran, if I wanted to find out the history of this kit, is there somewhere to look for a number etc on the chassis so i can work out when and where it was built? Thanks, Matt
