An engine will turn up and in the mean time you can be doing stuff to the chassis. That would be my way of doing it. Good luck Thing is I have no experience to tell me if the chassis is good, bad, whether the price reflects what is included, the seller is a member on here and i don't want to unduly mess him about, and the chassis is 350 miles away so I can't just pop-along.

Put the ad up and I'm sure you'll get some helpful advice of other members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanto Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 It's not an ad as such, well it was a one liner which i found and followed up for more info by email, asking price is £3250 that includes chassis, wheels, bodywork, dash, a 4 speed box, prop shaft electrics fuel tank, radiator, I then added on collection by a transport company, then try and figure out how much an engine will be, carbs/injection, exhaust manifold fabrication, silencer, maybe refurb the 4speed box or replace with a 5 speed, fit out the interior including seats, obtain a windscreen, washers/wipers, doors, plus all the fuel, cooling pipework etc, then rolling road session, geo set up etc etc, and i came out with a ballpark figure of £9-10k, which Is a bit steep for me.

B.RAD Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Do you have a budget in mind? Might be easier/better to get a crossflow powered westy ready to go that you can just tinker with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 For example (NTDWM): Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142294876912 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, I obtained more photos of that car from the seller, it needs a lot of work that isn't apparent in the ad'. The last communication I had with him was that somebody was picking it up on Sunday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Spot the WSCC sticker on the scuttle? Someone on here must know the car I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
