    Fantastic build! Yea, just keep adding to this as you go. What cockpit points are the rear straps attached to? The seat belt anchors? Very clever.

    Not a buyer, just wondering what this is?

    I'm considering going to a 13". Less twitchy steering.

    A big litter box?

    I like the steering wheel

    Thats an incredible piece of equipment and the results are fantastic. Totally get the no doors thing. And the ear bashing turbulence thing. I resort to ear plugs and will probably find a driving helmet with ear protection.

    people want to assume that a prop shaft is correct as new from a manufacturer, but balance is something to always check if you haven't verified it yourself.

    Well, its open wheel

    wow...

    The engine out. do it.

    1. make score marks on the flanges so you put the shaft back on in the same orientation. 2. The differential flange bolts are not usually high torque items, so removing and assembly isn't difficult. Drive shafts are usually simple items. Now is a good opportunity to take it to a drive shft shop and have the balance checked, any repairs done and grease toped off.

    I know we're all joking around here, but Id like to add.. The Skyline wasn't seized because it was a Skyline, But because it wasn't on the manifest "Smuggle". The issues with the car can be resolved one way or another, but falsification can't be dealt with kindly. Customs is mostly focused on drugs , IPR violations and terrorism now. They don't care what it is as long as everyone is truthful about it and its clean.

    can you rotate the shaft to look for zerks? they can be very hidden in a u joint. Is there grease slung in the tunnel around the joints? Your joint looks clean, like sealed bearing, but I don't know if sealed would have circlips. I have a loose shaft (not really) and it looks a lot like yours (I hope not) Flip it over and there is a grease zerk

    I know the "nobody wrenches on my car but me" thing, lol. Those Vaccaro wings, or farings, were they sold as such or are these your own creation?

    This is golden advice.

    Standard Caterham key. This one is my Xflow key. No ECU. STARTER SWITCH Morris Minor Lowe & Fletcher SWH116X Nieman type BHA5215

    It's a distributor; a component of non-computer controlled engines. Im just being cute. Ignore me. But if you wanted to put in an all mechanically timed engine, the Kent crossflow is still a viable engine with lots of parts support and 55 years of tuning knowledge available.

    No PATS required Yes, im trolling ☠️

    This is your niche! Get the market!

    @Alex-Ks1 OK, so where's the 7 kit from you? lol
  23. IamScotticus
    I would treat it like consulting an attorney before a starting a business selling roadkill meat pies, what could go wrong? Call a broker or a friend who knows the business and ask if you need a broker. If your import passses thrthe port and Customs swimmingly, great. If not, the time and storage fees can add up. I do know that Customs doesn't care about your storage fees and they may not answer to you at all.

    Maybe in ten years EV components from complete cars will be cheap and available to cobble something together?
  25. IamScotticus
    You definitely want a Customs Broker working for you. Not because you can't do it yourself, but because of the investment you have in this. The brokers know the importation language and are in regular communication with the inport specialists.
