Some say he's a little short to see over the steering wheel.
Micro Stig doesn't need to see the road... he senses it.
looking at this one atm.. negotiating the price. figure i can get 2,500 for the engine and gearbox when i sell them.

found this in a barn in bauple, north of gympie (aka forever away up north).
he also had a rusted shell (useless) and the standard 1500cc engine. which i didn't need but it was so tiny and lonely i gave it a hug.

Nice, is the old running gear still fine? What're the plans for a body, plywood and staples?
hopes and dreams maaan
until i can find a body that's straight enough. will have to fab up or order some fibreglass bits once i get one (to make sure they fit)
Get some scaff pipe and a pipe bender.. go all ariel atom for it.
i've got the mould for the bonnet and doors, and can possibly get access to one to do the entire body in fibreglass, which would be suitably lightweight.
a british auto parts store is closing down in two weeks, going along to check it out..
in other news, i may also have obtained twin 40mm webers and a crossflow head for my mini.
Oooh.. going to have the webers sticking out the front?
yep, i hope it's still available.
i'm putting together my engine and gearbox on monday, aim to get the car done by july.
scrap..
