The Locust Project has begun!

Yes I am finally seriously beginning to collect the various parts from donor cars for my locost build "Locust" or lotus 7 type of sports car. I will post pics of parts as I gather them...

So far I have a couple of questionable axle / diffs both escort / cortina, an escort steering rack, radiator, mag wheels, one piece tail shaft, 2 diff centers. All for a total of $50....trying to keep the costs down to keep to the locost theme of my build. I also found one slightly damaged front wheel guard.

I plan to attend this months meeting of the wa sports car builders club this coming thursday, to join the club and get a copy of their book on how to get a clubbie / locost registered in WA. They do good work and I would be silly not to take advantage of their knowledge and experience in Perth. I will post re my experience at the club.

Thats it for now.....
Slippery Out!
