Can you not get someone to make a frame from an existing car with working hood and frame. Mine for example?

Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Back on the road
« on: August 18, 2019, 11:51:51 »
Its been a slightly disappointing six months.
Hopefully all sorted now.
New rear shocks and springs
Bespoke radiator fitted.
New alarm and immobiliser
Electrical fault caused by a loose earth wire..........days of my life I will never get back
All part of the fun though.

According to the register this was written off in October 1997, CAT C, I believe.
Looks good for the money though.

Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Fuel pump relay

Hi
Anyone know where the fuel pump relay is.
I know where the fuel pump relay fuse is but..........there seems to be no relay anywhere.

Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Re: Petrol Tank

Haven't been able to identify exactly where it is.
It would seem to have been leaking for a considerable time. (Odd that I only noticed it when I removed the hardtop- change of air flow i guess).
I've coated the inside of the tank with POR15 and having it pressure tested early next week.
The solution seems a bit easy, so i'm not holding my breath - I don't fancy the alternatives much.

Harrier,
I concur with everything that David has already said.
I had hoped that one of the club members who could have provided a comparison might have responded which is why I didn't comment earlier.
I've had mine for a year and a half (S500ACE). The car has been great on a daily basis for going to work and better on long journeys.
The intermittent wiper function and light switch didn't work when I bought it it and I've renewed the rear springs and shocks which were badly worn (about £700.00).
It doesn't accelerate like a Lotus 7 or 5ltr TVR Griffith but its a HELL of a fun car to drive.
The one your looking at also seems cheap.
As David said, give it a test drive. You'll fall in love with it. I did.

Thanks for that, I will.
I had been thinking about putting it on a rolling road just for fun to check out the BHP.
Luckily I've had no problems with mine so far. Very smooth acceleration and good 'top & bottom end' power.

I'm not aware of any modifications. But it had a number of owners so its possible, though unlikely i think. Are there any obvious signs?
