The only steel monocoque I know of would be a gto-tech one. They even re make the hubs and uprights!
Based on the Healey in the background I's agree Chris. It's what he was planning on building when I bought the Hawk kit from him.Quote:

It's a little vague as to what's included and there are no pictures of the suspension. I assume that is as per the original car?Quote:

A GTO Tech chassis was 50k Euro last time I heard.
'Project' is probably better than 'kit'.
You'll notice the stiffener on the underside of the front clam? As an original would and should have.
who supplied the body panels ???
You asked my question Phil.Quote:

The Dino engine is stripped which I have a new Arrow crankshaft and conrods , new forged piston set and all the parts
To build the engine . There are all the front to back cooling pipes , radiator , weber carbs and manifold , windscreen etc
There are also all the lights and mounting frames which are all correct
There are loads of new parts which I have collected that I have not listed I think the car is about 96% complete
I also have 2 eibach anti roll bars on order which should be delivered in the next weeks or so .
