Hi guys. Randy, Not powder coated just good old paint. Johan, all ali was 120 grit DA'd and etch primed. And yes, lots of purple rivets. Oh and it's SL71/24. Just had a full chassis resto and being reassembled by another preparer. Should look stunning when it hits the track this season. Gregg...

As its so quiet, I thought I'd post a couple of pics of what I've been up to at work this week. A bit of inspiration for all you budding Spyder builders out there. Darren

Yep, will be there. Should have Carlos's T70 in Group 5 and the T280 in Group 6 poss in T286 config. Looking forward to it as it was so good in '06.

Hi Marcus. Yep. We use 1.2 and 1.6mm L163 as we call it for main chassis and good old NS4 for non load bearing areas. We have no trouble folding it or welding it for that matter. Just have to make sure you drop the bar on the Brake first. Just out of curiosity, did you glue the joints on...

Yep. I'll have to agree with you guys. After watching todays episode, they could have filled the hour a bit more interestingly. Did manage to pick out a T70 door and a couple of noses poking out of garages. Had to be really quick though:). Next weeks is the Old Timer at The 'Ring.Prob more...

Just a quicky for the U.K members. Dave TV GT Racer Sunday evening 7pm. Covering the Silverstone Classic meet. Hopefully they'll show the Masters night race. 7 T70's on the grid. Might even see me running round like a loon putting the wets on Carlos's 3b in the pouring rain. I only found out...

Hi Marcus. Quick mod to your photo. Ours are only 2 parts. I don't think ours are any wider, may just be the overall shape of the upper part giving it that appearance. Similar shape but top plate goes to the rear to pick up on same rivet holes. Also we have a washer welded over top hole to add...

On the subject of Continuation Cars, here are a couple of the "First 5". Only got 3 of them. One hasn't been out to race yet and the other is in the 'States. Anybody stumped up a deposit for one of the "Next" 5 announced in "Autosport" Last week....... HU76/159 Blue/Yellow. HU76/160 Red/White...

Don't beleive everything you hear...;) And as always, everything is relevant. Soft compared to what? A modern LeMans type sports car? Then yes it is soft, But it is still very stiff and we get very little body roll and prob less than 3" movement full bump to full droop. Makes the car hard to...

Hadn't noticed before but the Audi TT in the last shot does look a bit "Stuck on" in the picture. But I can assure you that they are all genuine photo's. Only shopping is on the registration plates. Darren

Right then. As I've been house bound for the last week , after minor surgery, I am suffering lola deprivation. So I thought I'd post a couple of pics I took the other week while we were having a shunt around in the w/shop. It's not until you get along side an everyday roadcar the you realise how...

Yep I know all that, But as Chris is based in the UK and prob more familiar with the racing scene over here than in the States I didn't want to overburden him with information that was irrelevant to the cars colour schemes. That was all. No slur on who owns what. Darren

Of course, it should really be "French Battleship Grey" for that original touch.. Just out of curiosity Fran, but do you run all of you 3b tail pipes straight out like Mk3 or do you do the option to drop them down to exit the lower panel? Or is it just customer preference. Nice work anyway. Darren

The only T70 I know of that is white with green stripe is Frank Syntners ex-Sid Taylor Racing Mk3b. Team elite's car was dark Blue, as Richard Meins SL76/144 is painted now. Don't think they ever ran a Mk3, only 3b. All Mk3's in both those vids. The Pale Green with Dark Green striped car in the...

O.K. Remembered, so one pic of mount in-situ with block and other just of mount in chassis. Johan. Seen a few 3b mounts like yours. Worst one had sheared the main tube completely. Our new ones, I think there is a pic in J Starkeys book, are much more substantial. Plus the radius rod joint...

If I remember, I'll take some pics at work tomorrow. We've got a Mk11 and a couple of Mk111's in at the moment.. Darren.

New LG's are available, as used in the new T70 continuation cars. Cases by PDS, all internals by Hewland. Price around £25,000. Darren CRC Racecar Engineering

Spa 6 Hour. Got to be on the list. Only just missed it as well..... Darren

Hi Marcus. Great pics, sorry I missed you. Last minute change of plans. I understand you had an interesting chat with Clive? Good pics of Chris Beighton's car. We rebuilt the chassis for him and supplied all the parts for it's rebuild. this was its first time out, and I hear it ran well. It's...

So, 1, were you at brighton then?
