Hi DanOriginally Posted by DanMM
No we are not opposite Racepaints.... there is a small ish "Court" which is opposite Warburtons main lorry entrance.... I can see the main Eastwood bypass Island from our offices...
I have 2 Hawks, Fulvia Zagato (rusting in the corner) and couple of other non Lancia cars
Must admit that the LB with a Toyota 3.5 VVT really interests me !
If you go over to LB you are always welcome to call in
Cheers
Phil
Hello All
Well it didn't take long!! After a pleasant and very interesting trip over to ListerBell at the weekend I'm excited and almost equally as scared to say that I've placed a deposit for a chassis!!
I'm currently undecided on spec and colours etc but very much looking forward to getting started.
It would really be great if I can meet a few of you to take a look at your builds and finished cars before I have to commit to a specification. Please let me know if any of you are heading out for a drive or a meet and I will try my best to meet you.
Besides that, if anyone has original parts, donor parts or a build trolley which you are looking to off-load please get in touch!
Dan
Dan - you are not too far from me. If you want to come and have a look over my build so far, let me know.
Pop up to Phil's garage day in March? Derby way, there'll be a few cars there!
Guy
Well done for thinking about getting one and then doing it.
Dan
Congratulations on a decision well made. I am expecting delivery of my LB kit in the next couple of months. Having placed the order last April I have spent the intervening time researching and gathering parts, agonising over spec and colours but finally made my mind up. I am only down the road in Derby so once it arrives you are welcome to visit at any time.
All the best
Neil
Why are there so many LB owners/builders in the Nottingham area ? - is there something in the air ?
- a remote southerner !
Oh Good....................I can play guess your Chassis number with you
Hi all,
I too placed a deposit on an LB Stratos a couple of months ago and am patiently waiting for the 12-18 months waiting list to tick by! Like Dan I am filled with excitement and terror, usually in equal measures but depending on whatever thread I've read on the day the realisation of the size of the task I've given myself and the minefield of obstacles that will have to be deftly navigated!!! I have always drooled over the Stratos ever since I was a young boy so this will be the realisation of a lifelong dream, a massive challenge and a massive achievement. I consider myself to be fairly competent on the spanners but I know I'm no auto engineer and this will be a very steep learner curve (near vertical at times). I've recently managed to source a 166 3.0l donor car and am researching engine extraction and parts strip requirements. I'm also looking at the dual mass to single mass flywheel conversion and would appreciate any advice on offer.
Hi Dan,
I live only a couple of miles from Eastwood so would be interested to keep in touch and compare notes.
Cheers
Steve
Hi Steve65
I work in Eastwood !... but live in Southwell... Not the same but I have 2 Hawks to look at if you are interested.....
Cheers
Phil
