Hmmm very interesting. I am currently collecting various components for my own planned Locost build next year (2004), co-incidentally I plan on using an IRS rear, but with a scoob LSD. I shall be watching this site with interest:) Good Luck:):)

Hi carl, I'm in the process of building one myself!! looks like I'm a bit further on than you as my chassis is almost finished ( just needs a few brackets and the wishbones making). Im using a 1300 gt spec ford crossflow which is currently in bits and just about to be rebuilt and I am building it as per the book as I intend to race it in the championship in 2004 if things go according to plan!! good luck and keep at it!! If you need any help/can help me in any way email anytime. pumpers.

Hehe, nice to see someone else gullible enough to attempt it! ;)


I'd be interested in the pictures, mail them to me as per profile.


Just waiting for the old man to get the call from a local scrap yard to tell him to come and remove his gearbox atm. Then he can get the measurements for the tunnel etc and continue welding! :)

Hey Craig, thanks for the pics, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, it took nearly a week to download them. ;) Looks excellent though, keep it up!

The old man has just trial fitted the engine in his, pics should be added to the website within the next couple of days. :)
