I like the red one, it looks very well thought out. On a space frame you can add bolt on members to make access possible, welded or bolted has very little effect on strength or stiffness if its done right. So your trans has no rubber mounts then? To flywheels, I make the one on my V12 because there was nothing available that would fit right. I'ts 4130. I thought about aluminum but didn't see it as worth the extra effort but with a 4 cyl it might well be worth the work. |

Trans has rubber mounts at the rear. Somehow I get burried in projects MUCH quicker than I can finish them! Meet Yellow everybody A turbocharged Europa Definitely some questionable stuff has gone on in this car...least of all were the giant rats in the hood that managed to produce 55 gallons of rat shit over the 28 years the car sat in a field. Progress will ensue if I haven't died of hantavirus by this time next week. (or if I dont buy any more europas...) The brown house in some of those pics is my other other other other other project....I am just trying to keep up with some of you out there

Is that 4? Or is this going to be one of those threads where you produce another one like a card trick? Nice hobby for a guy who's never driven one, you'll be spoilt for choice when you are finished John |

I saw it! The 47 is insanely cool. I am planning to do my 46 as a part 47 part gkn-47D (the v8, mine wont be rover) inspired restoration. For the record I have 3.5 Europas....Let no man accuse me of being a hoarder! It is not necessary because I will readily admit that I am one. |
