Geoff's 250 SWB Replica Build

[casamolino]

Lets start of by saying my build is quite some time off , but as soon as you see something on Ebay that you just know is perfect then it wouldn`t be right not to purchase . So after spending time on Ebay/Italy and Ebay/Germany which have a greater choice of Carello and Marchal lights , i have bought the following ,

As per WCA`s build i will be using a Z3 probably the 6 cylinder version , Geoff .

Nice detailing, Geoff. Do the lenses have a surround?

[casamolino]

Thanks Gary , if you buy them with the correct surrounds/bulb holder the cost goes up by a factor of 3! so i intend to buy (probaly Lucas type) and fit my units to them , Geoff .

You have got to go for the 6 cylinder, the 1.9 four pot is a hateful engine. Every Z3 other than the 1.9 has a straight 6 from memory and the 2.8 or 3.0 are the pick of the bunch.

I will be posting up some pictures of mine soon along with some rubbish attempts at showing what I hope to do. The Z3 is a great base car in terms of easy of stripping down.

What shell are you hoping to put on top?

Buongoirno from Sunny Italy , arrived yesterday after driving the Alfa down 1300m from Chester and a week in Rimini , Geoff .

[WorldClassAccident]

Not even a little bit jealous

[Hammy]

Geoff do you have any pics or mock ups of what your kit will look like on the Z3?

To be honest, it is only £295,000 so why not just buy that one?

;-)

[casamolino]

If only IT contracting was that lucrative! Geoff .

[Hammy]

I like it a bit but its not my cup of tea, I preferred your mazza concept. Shoot me down but its a bit too run of the mill for me (ONLY MY OPINION GUYS )

[WorldClassAccident]

I preferred my Masser concept too - if you make it down on the 29th it should be sitting in Chris's workshop waiting for me!!

[Hammy]

Thats the one, see you on the 29th

[fatbloke]

Do you still have the adapters Geoff? Looking for a set for my Jag wheels.

[casamolino]

I stopped the order before production , so sorry no , Geoff .

[casamolino]

Right thats the wheels and tyres fitted , just need that nice man from Tribute to make some space in the workshop Geoff .

Hi Geoff

I like your wheel choice

Nick's car is being stripped down later this week, so your project will start a few weeks after that.

I have a cunning plan to create a very good likeness of the SWB......

Talk to you soon.

Minilite's will look great.
How much further out would wires be?
