Currently and discontinued. Obviously the Mk2 MDA chassis is the current GTRacing chassis so still available.

Just curious as to what people believe the top spaceframe chassis is down to the worst and why.

My insurance company (Zurich) insured my car for an agreed replacement value of a brand new car.

Thanks Michael! the sensor is in the same position as the original one. I shall keep an eye on it though.

Thanks for all the useful info. Andy what would be the reason for the gear reduction starter motor? I’ve been busy trying to create nice shapes from aluminium. I am rolling the inside edges on the sill panels to mimic the centre tunnel. I’ve also decided that in the front area I am going to...

Hi Andy The motor has had a lot of work done to it but there are no receipts showing a new clutch, bell housing or flywheel which seems strange considering the extent pf word done on the motor. I was also told the gearbox has Quaiffe internals, what these consist of I do not know. Would you...

Just a quick question, does anyone know how easy it is to fit the Porsche Cayman box to the 302? Currently running the UN1 box with Quaiffe internals however i thought if i am to upgrade now is the time.

Thanks Ian. Managed to get the majority out by drilling a larger hole at each end the using the airline to blow them through. The tougher ones I used at magnet for.

Today it happened! The chassis is painted. I hit all the bare steel with etch primer which to be honest was over 50% of the car. I then gave it a couple of very light coats of high build. This helped with levelling our a lot of the chassis which is visible to the eye when the car is complete. I...

Haha well I tend to get carried away with everything I do. Shortly after purchasing the car I realised replica/home builds/classics etc don’t go down well with my OCD. I can’t leave anything alone.

A quick update on my progress this week. All holes in the chassis have been welded up, ground down, an extremely thin coat of filler where needed, sanded and filled, sanded and filled and maybe sanded and filled again. Then sanded hahaha. I gave the exposed steel a coat of etch primer ready for...

Thanks Doc. Looking forward to seeing how it drives. I have all new arms, braces etc coming down from Mark at GT Racing which have all been powder coated to help with the longevity. What stage are you at?

Thanks Andrew. One positive I take from this is that I will know the car inside out after this. At least if anything does go wrong in the future I should know what it is and how to fix it. Thanks again

Haha great fun isn’t it. Hopefully yours didn’t have as much of the chassis missing as mine did. The only good thing I can see coming out of going as far as I have is that the chassis will now be better than new. I have stiffened up the rear cross brace as I am aware they are prone to crack...

Thanks! Maybe motec is a good move!

thanks Simon. I pulled the whole loom out the car today when removing the motor. What a mess! I think the best bet is to use my current engine management but get a ready to run loom from Summit Racing or similar.

No problem, enjoy! If mines back together I’ll see you there. Great name by the way. My little boy is called Otto.

Hi Michael, I do like a challenge although I prefer a clean one rather than fixing someone’s laziness. I’m glad it’s me that’s is doing it as I feel like I’m giving it another chance the second generation MDA chassis is a great design so it seems a shame for it to have been rushed in so many...

Hi guys you may remember a few weeks ago I posted some pictures of my newly purchased MDA GT40. I had planned to changed the colour, possibly ass Gulf arches and give it a general tidy up. After looking a little deeper I soon realised that if I was to enjoy this car a lot needed to change...

Congrats. If you need a PRO in the car let me know
