Straight four Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I live in Wooster and currently am planning on building a seven. However, I need an idea on the size of teh car since i am a sizable fellow. (6ft 2in size 15's). Anyone in teh area mind if i come by to look at the car or meet up somewhere? Esp interested if powered by v8ness or if the frame is a 442 (to see if taht is big enough.) would perhaps pay by way of beer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwind25 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 sent a reply about the ginetta...yes, your more than welcome to come look at ours! uhhh...size 15's wont fit in the Birkin 7 though... for that you might need to think about something a bit larger.. The ginetta will fit your height..but once again the footwell is little bigger than the Birkin se7en. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnttim Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I live just south of Detroit and I have a 442 frame hanging in my rafters you can sit in and get an idea of its size if you wanted to. I also have a variant sittin gon the floor but it is still abit rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0kerno1 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 YEAAAA someone in my area with a 7,,,,Whats the chances of showing to another person?? like myself? I have never seen one on the road in the akron area,, I have been having a mental battle over whether or not to do a 7 or build a street legal fully enclosed sand rail, my co-worker gave me a CJ3A jeep and the frame is amazingly good with a wheelbase of 81 inches. I have already started taking all the suspension off and plan on stretching it out but if I could see your 7 in person it might help me make up my mind. The more I see the Donkervoort the more I am leaning towards the 7 tho. http://jalopnik.com/cars/news/geneva-pre+show-donkervoort-d8-gt-238042.php JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight four Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I moved on for a while staring at other cars. Just had a serious talk with the wife to be (in four years, thatd make 9 years of dating... o.O). Nothing else really makes me excited happy enough to spend 25k and pay for the next 7 years. So im back to hunting 7's. Well building one. I might just look you up in Beach city this weekend. (ill pm you when i make up my mind.) Im pretty sure i wont fit in it. But it will give am idea if im just loco in thinking i can make one thatll be lightweight and fit me. (im 6foot + and wear size 15 shoes.) I looked today and cleveland pick a part has complete rear and front susp from GTO's for around 1k (thats including dif.) All id need is driveshaft and eng+tranny and a whole bunch of other parts. TNTtim i got your pm and am seriously thinking about it. I need to work out if im being insane though. (i dont even know how to weld.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
