Hi Chris, just came across your post, I don't login very often, all my spare time goes to the GT40. Good luck with your build and trying to keep to a Low Budget.!! I have an older chassis and best fit was a Ford 302, using the last of the SBF "Tickford" 5.0L XR8 Engines and an AUDI 012...

Has anyone got any thoughts on a suitable harness that could pass Vehicle Inspection.? In Australia they must also have an ELR - Emergency Locking Retractor.

Pat, I purchased an eBay Marine 2 Speed Wiper with a 120 degree sweep. Has Park feature for left or Right hand drive as well. Easy istallation, just the motor with spindle. Seems to be OK, sorry my car is not on the road yet so I can't comment on how effective it will be.

These are the VN427 Wheels I ordered from St George Tyres in Sydney. Package Deal with Nitto Tyres. Deal is with 18", but when you place your order they could probably do 17" instead. 2 photo's one 17" and the other 18". I had ordered 18x8 and 18x10, but unfortunately can't get the 18x10...

I'm in Coffs Harbour NSW, the "Nanny" State.

Simon, I'm in Coffs Harbour. NSW. I have been in contact with an Engineer in Tamworth, just getting tired of all the rule changes.:shout:

My front Axle hubs are from a Ford Cortina (TE Model). The TE saves having to weld and re-drill the Tie-Rod tapers. I then got a "Big Brake Kit" for the Ford Cortina from ebay. DBA2026 298mm x 30mm Vented Other Car & Truck Parts | eBay REAR BRAKES - Ford Falcon XE-XF, Handbrake in...

Simon, your work is an inspiration to keep me going. Who is going to do your Engineers report for ADR Compliance.? I been having many sleepless nights over all the new rule changes.

COILOVERS, I went with Viking Shocks 2.5", I've spent a lot of time trying to make them fit. Should have stuck with 2.25" in hind site.

Joacim, good luck with build. Sourcing parts on your own is a huge challenge. If your wallet is big enough, go with Tornado Parts, the build will be easier. At least you live in the right hemisphere.:thumbsup:

Hi Bob, your old Tornado is still taking shape very slowly.

Is this thread still being updated? I am getting close to Engineering stage very soon.

I am right in the middle of the same decision on my Tornado Mk-1 body. Looking at some American Racing VN427 rims (Halibrand style), a Sydney tyre company is offering a Wheel & Tyre package that was to good to pass up. I had to decide on the Backspace or Offset for the Rims, taking into account...

Udo, a quick photo of my Intatrim seat, test fit. They have a huge range of seats and styles.

I have been searching for ages now, for headlights to suit my Tornado GT40. LUCAS Style 2FRP, found in the Ford Escort Mark-1 series and others. Sometime ago, I did purchase some second-hand units which where fine for using to cut out the fibreglass, but the reflectors were badly corroded and...

What headlights do you run on the SPF.?

Hi, I'm using an AUDI 012 box with the large Output Flanges and had adapters plates made up similar to those posted above. Used standard CV Shafts from a Holden Commodore (Read V8 GM-Pontiac GTO).

It is as bad, if not worse in NSW Australia, the "Nanny State". Thanks, I will have to find out what the situation here is for side windows. Side Mirrors are the same here, electric for Drivers Side. Must have AirCon fitted here to pass Windscreen Demisting rules. (Plus it gets hot)
