August / September 2008
Driver Fitted
Despite careful measuring to ensure there was space for the transmission I still had to alter the chassis as the amount of drop on the rear axle would have locked up the propshaft,
unfortunately it has lost a bit of ground clearance.

For the next one I’ll have to get the transmission and axles BEFORE I start building NOT after the body is painted. I’ll put up some pictures when it’s done anyway.
The driver is a £3 toy from Asda, and after some major surgery with a hacksaw he fits, also got round to making a steering wheel.
Anyway here’s some recent pictures and a video of the first test run.

do you have scale plans or drawings
or on what base did you build it?

Hello. A lot of the body was a combination of re-scaled copies of the outline drawings from the workshop manual used as templates, and quite a few real measurements from a friend’s 86″.
