Another Stratos project

**Stratie.fr** · 25-01-2021, 19:19

I know there are plenty threads like this on the forum and I hope this another one doesn’t bother too much the audience!
As I experienced in the past other Stratos restoration and preparation in a Corse S and HF3000 done in UK with the helps of friends SEC members,
I think that could be interesting to share this thread with a new build project mainly located in France this time!
For sure at the moment Covid pandemic and Brexit shutdown don’t help too much for it...Fingers crossed!
This project would be a Darniche Red Chardonnet 1975 replica (with a LB STR still in order...) powered by one 3.2 GTA engine which I intent to prepare for Tarmac and race track events.

Here a few pictures of the engine I’ m beginning to dismantle and clean up before some refurbishment and upgrade with new performance parts

These are th best sort of threads Frederic - no need to aplogise! Keep them coming, its always great to see another car in build and how it progresses. Says Guy with a stalled build in the garage....

I like Frederic’s authentic look! Especially if the gearbox was good. No point in my book stripping a box just to clean the outside.

Agreed with you Tim, I dismantled the unit for refurbishing and replacing new parts like the Quaife!

Great stuff Frederic - another one in the works! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out

Thanks Guys for your nice comments and encouragement!
Some new parts are collected recently ( reinforced clutch lightened flywheel, new pulleys and Quaife diff )
