I'm chuffed for you matey, and an interesting side-effect of the large pin option is that you now have many years of winding up Airport security metal detectors ahead of you

All my interior metalwork has been Ti so far...

Bumped for the guy who pm'd me about buying it

Sorry, just read this thread, congrats WCA and hope all goes well.

Just thought I would update the thread to let you guys know of the progress.

With the leg - all good news so far. I keep the foot and subject to the result of last Mondays scan they think they won't do the fusing operation unless it collapses. This means I should be walking without the cast by the end of the month and hopefully driving again.

With the G46 - mixed news. I won't be driving a 3 pedal car again so I have had to sell it. Sad. The good bit is I have sold it to another fan of the design who was dealing with Gary even before I bought my car so it is going to a good home.

I will let him introduce himself and start his own thread when he collects the car which will probably not be for a month or so.

Anyway, I shall continue to read the threads with great interest. Who knows, there may be a G46 on the road by the summer*

*if we have a summer this year

Hi WCA, so glad to hear the good news in respect of your foot, but sad to hear that you have had to let the Scimitar go.

I do hope the new owner will post updates, as there are precious few Scimitar conversions around, and that you will continue to be involved on this site with any tips, hints or suggestions in respect of Scimitar / G46 conversions, and I hope you build something (with an autobox) in the future.

Best wishes

Good luck getting the foot sorted. As for a car you can drive on one leg, have you considered a Tribute MX250 using an automatic Eunos as a donor?

There's usually loads on ebay, here's one for starters -

New head gasket and off you go!

Some people may have seen my postings on the Tribute site. BMW 2.8 auto with a mix of D-Type and other styling laid over it.

I have never wanted a wannabe replica (no offense to replica owners*), I have wanted something of that era.

*well, not too much

Agreed re the 'replica' conundrum. I've been pondering the problem myself and its not easy coming up with a 'recreation of a 1950's sports car' 'look' that's different enough for people not to immediately think Ferrari/Jag/Aston etc wannabe.

(Maybe I should paint it white with a rising sun logo and call it the 'Wanabe Special', then go an invade 'Cobra' breakfast meetings)

Look forward to reading about your beast on the 'other' site thread!

Tributes Red Mx250 deemo car is for sale I think, and is an auto!! Job done!

The final day has come and with a heavy heart I wave goodbye and wish the new owner luck





and suddenly all warranties have expired...



Good luck Mike and please keep us all posted on progress.

If you want to see my new build part 3 then it is in the next forum along : http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4253

Can you remember the chassis number of your SE5? I think you sent it to me but I can't find it and the guy that's selling it on is being funny about it

Regards
