I must be crazy

[Andy083]

I ve always fancied a Westfield but seemed out of reach until now .wow I've got my work cut out and a long time,so guess I'll be asking a few questions or help in some form.

 

Thanks for letting me join the club.

 

Here's my wreck...

Awesome Andy. Warm welcome.
 

Looking forward to those questions!  As for arriving on the back of a truck. Most of us have lived that one. 
 

Do consider starting a build thread over here - https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/forum/103-build-diaries/

 

A great place to attract the very knowledgeable folks on here!
 

 Look forward to meeting you out and about with the club. HB.

Crazy is just a state of mind!

 

You’ll get lots of help here, especially spending money on upgrades…

 

This area is where you can download build manuals, which could prove invaluable.

 

Good luck - we’re all counting on you.

Andy,

 

Crazy is a word often used with Westfield builds. Yes, you're crazy to take this on, do yourself and your sanity a favour and back out now. It's not too late to save yourself. Think of the hours you're going to spend on the internet, looking for advice from people who don't know what a Westfield is, the keyboard warriors of the kit car world. Yes that part will fit, possibly. And I have one in stock, here's the payment details for my bank in Roumania.

 

Otherwise, welcome to the club, also known as the madhouse. Good luck.

 

John.

Welcome aboard, I chose the lazier, ready built and running option as I was sick of a previous project and just wanted to get out and drive, plus I do this for a living and one thing I've learned is once Ive finished work I don't want to work on my own stuff, kinda wish I knew that before starting my career as id have chosen something else so my love for working on cars wouldn't dampen, now i need a pay cheque to get me motivated and i don't pay myself haha

I'm locating and buying parts at the Moment lots of work to do including rebuilding that Toyota 4A-GE Engine only makes sense in the long run.

Basically the frame and running gear looks good, Body needs a lot of attention including reforming the bits that have been cut away.

I'll post pictures soon then everyone can see what's wrong and advise on relocation of fuel lines etc.

My costs probably going to rise very quickly.

 

New loom

stand alone ECU

Throttle Bodies

Custom  Exhauster header

Coil pack, ditch dizzy

Engine rebuild

Seats

Hand brake cable (only left side in situ)

windscreen fillet (like pink moon dust) can't find one

windscreen wiper motor set

seat belts

IVA

Radiator
