Hi Chris,
Yes good suggestion. To be honest, the Lister Bell kit only happened for 2 reasons. 1. It gave me the opportunity to complete a third different Stratos having previously built a Corse and a Hawk. And 2. It came at a time when I needed a project to keep me occupied and sane after the loss of Christine. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole build and it served it's purpose very well.
Now what I have planned is not on the scale of a Stratos build. I reckon 3 of those is enough at my age.
As you may have seen recently, I have now re-aquired my old X1/9 and having just finished a complete interior retrim in ivory leather, new carpets etc. I'm planning to go to work on the engine and transmission in an attempt to make the car what it should have been all along, a pocket rocket. Research is well underway and I have a feeling that bike carbs may well be involved. We'll see over the coming months.
Oh and good luck with your build. I've been watching with interest.
