the Steinard MK3 takes shape

John the car looks bloody superb. My M1 with cast iron chev was 920kg without the body on so you have done a fabulous job building it to a low weight - I'm sure it will be a weapon! Cheers, Andrew
I must admit considering the tube sizes I used for the chassis I didn't expect that result at all, I thought 750-800 but i'll take it that's for sure.
did some math this morning and its taken approx. 1400 hrs to build, cost wise you don't want to know. but there was no way I was going to not do the Marque justice, so its had pretty much the best of everything.
all I need now is some one to come along and wave a big cheque at me lol.
cheers John

Just got back from our Aussie holiday and caught up with John and had a look at his Mclaren M1, Quite impressed with the build and really impressed with the sound when he did a start up. Hope mine sounds as good and those feet hiding under the back are just SO.
No wonder he enjoys it there ....endless summer.
Thanks for the time John, now back to my shed to start assembly if I can find all the bits.

Reminds me when we put a coby muffler on an Morris 850 lowlight, the only way to get a warrant of fitness was to roll up some chicken mesh and jam it up the muffler. It did the trick and promptly blew out on the way home from the testing station, job done until the next WoF came around.
Oh Dear , I went fishing last saturday and thought I'd test the water, so i advertised the McLaren on 'MY 105" a local motor sport site, and put what i thought was an outlandish price on it, then wed had a call from some bloke, he came to see it yesterday and put money in the bank this morning, bugger.
the good news is he already has two Muscle cars in his stable and wants a sports, and also wants me to stay involved, as they take it to the next level that i could only dream of doing.
so now ill have to come up with something else to occupy my time.
cheers John.
