I have some of the books, and they are about American "boats" like chevy bel air's and f150's. I've done one fiberglass seat, and the technique is the same as...

No Keith, not when I moulded the seats myself. In anycase, here in New Zealand the average fibreglass seat maker won't offer this service, there is so little...
Just as a suggestion, check out this plastic seat mfgr and see if they offer anything that might fit http://apexautoeng. com/Projects_ stinger.htm Patrick &...
Dear Patrick: My name is Daniel, I´m a mechanic engineer, living in Pirassununga (SP-interior), and I´m trying to fullfill the documents (DETRAN) in order...
Giving details on adjustments needed etc I'll be moving out to Philippines next year and will finally have time for a build (or two) BUT most cars are Japanese...
... The best way would probably to find someone who has built using your intended donor and ask them. The VAZ Lada/Zhiguli is a good single donor (you don't...
I'm currently in talks with Haynes about having another run produced. I'm trying to judge the demand for this book, and was wondering how many people would be...

That's bonkers!! I've got a signed (By RC) but used version, complete with oil stains - I wonder what that's worth?? Enough to rebuild my race Locost???? James...
Your best bet could be a Jap van - cheap and plentiful, and generally car based. Most have wishbone front suspension, front steer rack, and use a car-based...

G'day fellas, here's a technical question. The Locost and Westfield recomended castor angle is 5.30 degres. The Cortina Mk3-5 has a Castor angle recomended no...
