XR4Bill

thanks Stewart, it was very short notice, but we all made it happen! Looking forward to many more, not to mention, future blats. cheers, Bill

Sounds good to me Terry. But as is the norm, it depends on my schedule etc. Enjoyed the meet today. Nice variety of 7s. cheers, Bill.

Dennis Porter is also interested Bill.

same with me Terry, Schedule permitting. Looking forward to Thursday. :cheers: Bill.

so far thats 7, an apprropriate number me thinks. cheers, Bill.

All the very best to everyone, Merry Xmas and lots of Happy New Blats. :party: cheers, Bill

12 out of 10 skip, brilliant. :cheers: cheers Bill.

Thanks, It was taken with the porch lights and camera flash off. A few of the neighbours asked what it was and why the 7. We just had our first snow dumped on us this morning, not as much as you guys though. I hope all is sorted down your way and that your Halloween went ahead with no more problems. cheers, Bill.

This one was taken in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. Aug 2011. It was fairly windy but nice and sunny that day. http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj140/XR4BILL/Bills%20Lotus%207/th_IMG_1056.jpg Bill.

Im with Steve on this. We are just forming a substantial group of 7s in Alberta. Stay with us and enjoy some blats. cheers, Bill.

Duane, If I were you I would talk to Chris at Unobtanium Welding. You will not be unhappy with his work. About 20 minutes from your home. cheers, Bill.

Steve, set up in the early morning so the event should be starting at approx 9:30/10am. It should run through to approx 4:00/4:30pm. Its on Sat the 8th of Oct. This is the last event of the year unfortunately. Bill.

No problem Duane, I will do that tomorrow for you. Or you could show up at the last Auto X event of the year at Deerfoot Mall and take as many pics that you need. cheers, Bill.

Keep at it Duane, summer is fast approaching. :driving: cheers, Bill.

Get after it Duane, we are waiting! We have another Westfield in Calgary now as well by the way. He is also into Auto X. cheers, Bill.

thanks Steve, will try to figure something out in time for next year. Bill

Hi Terry, the boss and myself are interested in joining the blat, but it all depends on my schedule, which at the moment is up in the air. We know each other from the CSCC Auto X, I raced a Merkur XR4Ti. cheers, Bill.

Hi Ian, sorry for the late reply regarding the doors. Ive had some issues with the Net etc. I tried the Birken doors and they will not fit. Thanks for the info and good luck with the sale. cheers, Bill.

Hi Duane, glad you now own Beatrice. :party: I guess its party time. Bill.

Hi guys, name is Bill and I figure its time to introduce myself in the Canadian Se7en roll call. I had started to collect parts/materials to build a lo-cost based on the XR4Ti, as I have lots of spare parts etc. A friend of mine who built this car is leaving the country and offered it to me. Sooooo, I picked up the 7 this March and I am really enjoying it. I still intend to build a car though, hopefully starting this winter. Also met up with Stewart and Steve and our other halfs and went for a blat to Kananaskis in Alberta. Had a great time (hope to have more blats in the future) Its got a V8, 302 small block Ford engine with alloy heads, roller cam, T5 gearbox and its really a blast and a handful to drive. It has a Holley carb and future plans are to go with port injection and probably Megasquirt. I auto X the car and during these events Ive met other potential/pending 7 owners, here in Calgary. Here is a pic of the day I brought her home. (not exactly 7 weather) http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj140/XR4BILL/Bills%20Lotus%207/IMG_0715.jpg cheers, Bill

Hi Ian, a friend of mine has just purchased a Birken and he picks it up hopefully this weekend. He was told that the doors that are with the package are the same as the Caterham. He said that I could try the doors on my car to see how they fit. This would probably be the best way to go for me at the moment. I will try these out first to see how and if they fit my car. If in the meantime, you manage to sell them, no problem. cheers, Bill.

Thanks for the pic. Im auto Xing on Sat/Sun, will get back to you on Monday. cheers, Bill.

I have a u-built and the owner mentioned it was slightly different in various places. Just trying to be sure of what my options are. Just wondering about the following, (if its possible) The length along the bottom of the door? The length along the top of the door? (along the bottom of the window.) The angle at the leading edge of the door? The angle at the trailing edge of the door? The height of the bottom part of the door? (from the bottom of the door to the bottom of the window) Bill.

Any chance of a few measurements regarding the doors? Bill.
