I am a new member from sunny SA. I recently bought an incomplete GT40 KIT. Fortunately the kit has not been touched, just an assembly of parts. I have the engine, gearbox, etc etc etc. I am not happy with the space frame chassis I currently have. Has any one out there got any advise for me as far as chassis drawings and suspension drawings? I am a little fustrated as I do not know where to start.

Kit car centre where the first to do the GT40 in SA. I have a later version of the body probibly not even a Kit car centre body. My body is a well made version. The chassis I have is based on the granada or cortina suspension which is not what I am after. I will need to make another chassis and suspension.

I had one of those, the front end Cortina is not bad at all,but the rear shoujld be easy to modify the frame to be more original.

Yes thank you. I am exploring all avenues.
I have since found out that this car I have is based on the KVA. Thanks to all for the help.

From what I see that was from Kit Car Center. Rudi who used to own Kit Car Center and developed that kit now runs the factory at Backdraft. Give him a call ,he is a really nice guy.
