Jenko Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I sold my last Westie in 2012 to build a Sylva....Having completed and IVA'd it, I've been getting the urge to continue to build. As it happened I came across a bit of a 'barn find' in the shape of a half build Seight kit with a new 4ltr block...I couldn't resist. So, let battle commence...V8 here we come!.

Kit Car Electronics Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 What will become of the J15 though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 How could you resist a half built Seight. I'd agree. What fool would abandon such a build? Looking forward to a build thread on this, so get cracking and post up some 'Before' photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks Chaps....and yes I think a build thread is in order (or blog).....The J15 was sold and went to Birmingham, I do miss it, but my urge to constantly get my hands dirty is calling. I'm currently on a crash course learning about rover V8 engines and their various pitfalls / versions / etc, and also LT77 gear boxes!....All interesting though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Car Electronics Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Has the engine ever been in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenko Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Engine has never even been assembled, I have the receipt from Land rover from 2009, chap who I bought kit from was going to build it up, but never did. It's a short block 4ltr....possibly one of the last ones ever built (not sure if thats a good thing!)..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
