A few hours of PDR and a tin of T-Cut?


Or is it a bit worse than that .... ?

Unfortunately it’s a tad worse than that, but as Iain says, man can repair what man has built.

When I got T boned in my Lotus 22 at the Classic I got very down in the dumps and just stuck the wreckage at the back of the work shop for a few months. I then took the car home and just spent the next year rebuilding the car without pushing myself and just enjoyed the rebuild.I also thought that if I had been hit a few inches further up the cockpit there would be no way I would be typing this.
I think I said this last Delta new build would be called a DeltaT79 LW. "last won".
I have found a pair of rear uprights and I have a very nice chassis I bought in Denmark so I am changing the name to Delta T79 LBW.Never say never.

Exactly what I did Iain, was January before I made a start. The TT hasd been equally challengine for different reasons, it'll be 6 years by the time I'm finished . . . . but I'm only doing it when I want to, I refuse to give up, or force myself to do something I don't want to!

I have Just finished a reed valve induction conversion on a 240cc Lambretta engine though

There's nothing like a nice warm breakfast when you're testing your Winter Project, does the quality of breakfast affect your choice of test track?

See, it just takes a bit of creativity to keep the thread on topic

Sounds good thank you. I can't drive because I'm out of ARDS, no racing licence for some years now.

Well don Iain, I was going to say if it's a mowog part number it must have been off a BMC model, but thought you would know that anyway.
Thinking about it, could Mini ones be the same, I would have thought the racks would have been the same size? (Mini parts being more readily available...)
