Well bj28 and myself are building a Luego viento this summer pick the chassis up next saturday morning and off to stoneleigh kit car show for sunday.monday if all goes to plan there mounting the v10 in the chassis this week just hoping its done in time

 

think the question should be has anyone actually ever fininshed one

 

Well i helped finish off a gt40 and a silvia striker so hoping i do actually get to finish this one once i start lol

 

Tiger Cat E1 with 1800 zetec engine with R1 bike carbs,

nearly finished, just needs some final wiring sorted and its ready to start!
have all the interior panels retrimed in hard wearing black vinal,

good father-son project, shame im only 19 so may not get insured on it though

 

Yes a Westfield from scratch

 

My bro is on his third(robin hood) and a dakar as well.

I built an Eagle RV (jeep C7 copy) many years ago - great fun, but faster when towed by my pal's S1 than it ever was under its own steam!!!

 

my dad an i started building a Robin Hood 2B. We ended up trying to change stuff on it cos it was such a shockingly awfull design!!

ended up sellin after havin it for 3 years.

DON'T get a Robin Hood! not worth all the trouble imho. far better off gettin a Westfield, end result looks far better too than a Robin Hood.

 

I use to work for a company called gravetti eng building ac cobras and lambo s

 

WAHAY, nice appache there!!

i have helped my friend, through most of his westfield build

its due in for its SVA at the end of may then we are driving it to lemans

 

Be VERY careful what you buy. Alot are absolute Shite (namely robin hoods!). Westfields are excellent with alot of choice with engines/ suspension etc and reasonably good value (compared to a caterham). There are cheaper ones which can be made into very good cars, just depends on the builder.
Just try to stick to common drivetrain parts unless you want loads of very late nights. My RX7 turbo powered westie is being a bastard to get finished, just hope its going to be worth it.

 

Id do one and put a bike engine. Sooooo much fun and they sound awesome revved upto 13,000 rpm+!!!! Ive been in one with a 160bhp fireblade engine and it was the best car ive been in EVER. If you can call it a car that is.
