Hi fellow Gt40 enthusiasts!
I’m Stuart and live in Sydney. I've only recently come across this site and have spent the last few days (even during work hours) reading about peoples build ups, namely: Pete, Peter D, Dimi, Bill Haralambakis & Dave S. Thanks for the excellent information provided on your cars and a detailed written accounts of what's involved in getting these projects completed - given the work involved I'm amazed you found time to post such detailed reports. May I say all of your cars look amazing!
I've held of calling DRB direct at this stage regarding the costs involved in a project like this, I've had a good look at their website and seen the parts lists etc. I commenced to search for any for sale and only found one DRB Kit that has the following items with it:
Well here is the list of bits it comes with.
DRB gt40 body chassis unit (as new)
parts included in the sale:
'85 corvette front suspension
'85 corvette front and rear brakes
DRB fuel tanks
DRB rear uprights and spiggots
DRB door handles
DRB body clip set
DRB gearbox adaptor plate
all for $25000
I have no idea if the price is reasonable given the DRB site list the “Body Chassis unit” at $22,500. Some of the parts shown above have prices on the DRB site but if any one could through me some opinions that would be great.
I was going to PM some of you and ask if you could give me a rough guide on the all up expense of your cars, but as I’m new I considered it maybe a bit rude. If you’d like to PM me and give me some guidance that would be much appreciated, especially those who’ve had turn-key projects. Or, alternately are there any completed one for sale that would meets NSW ADR’s
Cheers
Stuart
