been lurking around the forum for a long time and finily decided to join up and thought i would share my new project, purchaced it a few days ago and im expecting to have it home tomorrow









it has a fully spaceframed chassis and full fiberglass body as fars as i no its an ex v6 eurocar

all breaks and suspension are there & rear axel,

plans are some form of v8 engine & gearbox engine and repaint everything then abuse it
cheers for looking
nomis

 

Strangely I was only talking to someone a few days ago that has Barry Sheen ( I think thats how its spelt ) old Mondeo.

I believe they were built by Sonny Howard ( SHP Motorsport ) who built my Peugeot.

Cool project, could have lots of potential I'm sure.

 

woah this looks serious.

What axle is on it??

 

its got a volvo 240 axle in it, don't think that's what would have been in it originally but apparently its quite strong

 

is that an old "Euro car" oval racer?

cool find!

***Edit***
found this, sounds like it is!

yea as far as i know it is it has a really strong and well setup chassis so it should be pretty quick with a good engine & a very cheep we project

 

Seen them racing at Oulton Park years back, there was Eurocars, V8 Pick-Up things and Legends from memory

 

Very cool project

 

I likey

 

Good luck with the project

 

it never ceases to amaze me what people have tucked away on farms, in barns and lock ups all sorts of wierd and wonderfull creations, good luck with the build

 

my aunts ex husbands brother used to race one of these when they were new and they said it cost 70k (not sure how true this is) to build a new one after he wrote it off lol

 

Lots of potential! Hope you do it well as could make a great car.

 

A Mondeo Atom - I like it!

 

There was one of these at x-sport for sale a fresh build that never got used ,cool project mate

 

swwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttt,.

 

Heres the link to explain all. The guy i use to race against in Hot rods (Ricky Hunn) use to race one years back. As later did his son Jason Hunn.

Looks a fun project! I don't in any way want to bring a downer to it, but please do yourself a favour and get some new front wishbones made up. The problem is in this pic:



The entire weight of this corner of the car is being resisted only by the shank on the rosejoint in bending, a mode in which it was never intended to operate. By the looks of things its already bent.

Either move the bottom of the shock to act directly on the upright, or if thats not possible due to tyre clearance at least replace the joint with a proper housed sperical like this:
