Welcome Frank! I am in Australia by my partner is German and we will move there in some years. Probably near family in Osnabruck. Is it difficult register a kit car in Germany?

Hi, Has anyone in Australia had their purchased or custom uprights tested as part of compliance? I was speaking with a chap from the hot rodding community at a car show and he was saying allot of the imported hotrod suspension items from USA were failing testing. This is in South Australia...

Hi guys, Anyone ever shipped furniture or similar type goods from Germany to Australia. The furniture holds sentimental value more than anything. I met my partner overseas and she has now been living here 3 years, would be nice if we could have some of her families affects around. She lived...

Yes a letter is fine! My partner sends letters with all sorts in them back to Germany even chocolate :-) We take the envelope into Australia Post and they pass it through a slot to guage the size. If it fits through its a letter. The difference is about $5 or $50 so we post mutiple letters...

Hi Thomas, Do you have any links that show good build pictures of the Ultima/Audi combo i have been trying to find pictures of them in kit cars/space frames etc? This has been on my mind since i priced the cost of adapting Ford/Lexus V8's to the 01E. Seems logical to stick with Audi where you...

Thanks guys! Yes JT is who i was trying to remember, good to see he is still in business. For reference: https://sites.google.com/site/jtimportsonline/

Hi all, Does anyone know of a well-priced shipping agent from USA to AUS? Example: I was looking on JEGS at Wilwood ProSpindles and to purchase a pair shipping was over $100 with no option for slow cheaper methods. I used a guy in Melbourne years ago who imported Engines from the States to...

Hi guys, Are these still a good option for the 40; i haven’t seen anyone running them. Also would you use the standard or 2" dropped spindle (suspension isn’t my area of expertise obviously). Further; who does economically priced brake and hub kits to suit this spindle and 15 inch rim...

haha yeah, I first starting restoring British cars when was just a wee kid; after the first two I learnt quickly budget is a bad word. After that I got pretty good at predicting costs on restorations of vehicles I was familiar with. Modifying or custom work is bloody hard so I just think of what...

Hey all, Cheers to those who have pm'ed or dropped am email. Sorry to those I havnt got back to, I have been away over the weekend so checking in on the mobil! Skippy and Dimi - perhaps re-read my post, I understand your angle but not a productive response guys! To clarify the point of...

Hi all, Is there any build manuals available from manufacturers. I dare say it's a tightly held object, however I wasn't sure if some free examples were around from dated manufacturers or someone being naughty and putting it online. Doing a scratch build poses a ton of small things like...

Hi all, Sorry to double up on threads i just found this section which is more suited (mod feel free to combine posts) Every scratch builder says find your fibreglass then build the chassis to fit. What are my options in Australia? Is there anyone providing the body alone at a good price? It...

Thanks Troy i will drop you a message. What about fresh out of the mold stuff, who is well priced and in Australia?

Looks like solid works! I have done some googling and found a few videos and what not which should hopefully get me rolling. There also seems to be a fair bit of info out there and user groups im told.

Hi all, Every scratch builder says find your fiberglass then build the chassis to fit. What are my options in Australia? Is there anyone providing the body alone at a good price? It doesn't have to be the most exact copy of the original however it must look the part. There was a bloke on...

Hi, Price of the package isn't an issue. We get really good reduced student versions or subsidized by out institutions plus if I know what package I want I coukd find a shared version. It's more the learning curve and which is most intuitive or has the largest resource base. Years ago I found...

Hi all, I would like to model my space frame in cad to make sure all is well before cutting any steel. I was hoping to find a very simple cad to use or a cad package that has a tutorial in creating a space frame. Price isn't an issue as I have friends who are students and can even get autocad...

Hi, Of the scratch builders on this forum, which ones have provided a copy of their chassis with dimensions. (referring to cad or pdf plans which includes lengths of tube etc) I know a few of them mentioned they would once it was finished however i have lost track of who that was? I would...

Hi Oliver, Had a search but couldnt find much on these plans. i think at that price no one would have bothered to buy them. Considering you could get real Lambo plans for $1500 and the CW stuff got $180 then 2.8k seems pretty steep. I email them to see if they could send some renderings so i can...

Hi all, Racefab sells GT40 plans for $2800 Racefab Inc. Does anyone know wha they are like? The price is very expensive and there is no images on the site of the product. Any thoughts? cheers jonesy
