Welcome back from a relative newby. I joined just before the old board ended. I have a Litton, or what was originally built as a Litton. Only the chassis from the first build is part of my car, my kit is a clug of parts thrown together for a US buyer. The car has been a test of my engineering and fabricator skills. The car is on it's way to be completed again, but that is still about 9 months away. I like to think of myself as Scottish, but the last ancestor of mine who lived it Scotland was born in Bothwell in 1725 and left for the Americas just before the American Revolution. I'd like to see pictures of your car if you have any.
Welcome back Lurkio.
Hope to see you out there performing again soon.

Hi there tipo
http://www.stratossupersite.com/phot...=652&ppuser=90
takes you to the old forum gallery where there is a few pictures of my car
I purchased it as a complete running road going kit in 2002
couple of years later i got hit heavily in the drivers side, following a long wrangle with insurance company (The club provided proof of value that saved my bacon) I started a full conversion to make the car suitable for forest rallying. I then had health problems that stopped me doing a lot of the work myself and its been an uphill battle since for a heap of reasons. The Allora was never the best of kits, the body mould having been taken from a crashed and poorly repaired genuine stratos. that leave the kit with IMHO major body work issues.
Anyway a change in personnal circumstances 3 years ago has left me with no garage so I cant progress the rebuild at present. but sooner or later it will get done its just a matter of realigning my priorities and i needed a break from the scene for a while.
There is a chap who had done what your doing, he might have finished his by now although some kits take 15 years to complete, A chap in Scotland has just sold his unfinished part built Allora, he had spend a lot of time improving the chassis and must be gutted to have to sell. Will be interested to hear whats new on the Stratos Scene, was very surprised Pims sold his in Holland, what a build and what a car.
cheers

Hi Stevie,
Good to hear from you again. I was wondering what you were up to these days. Sorry to hear about your circumstances changing but hopefully you'll be up and running again sometime soon. You've probably noticed that I'm building again, a Hawk this time which is getting close to IVA test time. Just a few issues with the electrics (surprise surprise) and then I should be able to get the paperwork in.
Here's a link to my body & paintwork job.
