Van Diemen RF87 - Chassis 016

[lukej]

Hi All,

I'm new around here, the names Luke and I'm in the process of restoring my RF87 which I picked up yesterday.

I'm new to the FF1600 world and was hoping to learn from the wealth of knowledge on here about my car. Here's what I know.

- The chassis is number 016.
- The car is an RF87.
- The bodywork has some blue and yellow paint on it three layers below the surface.
- The car's last owner was informed that it was previously associated with an Irishman named Eddie.

I'm hoping to dig up its race history to find out if the above is true, and also to get a look at where my car has been and how it fared.

Having gotten it home at 10pm yesterday, it's currently sat on workmates in one of my units, down to the frame and ready for a nut and bolt restoration. I don't like to hang about so I've already put lots of the smaller components through my head blaster ready for fresh paint.

All going to plan, this should be on track in time for a brief shakedown before the Festival, WHT and Carnival and I'm hoping to have its history in short shrift too.

Thanks

Luke
