Kens Pop 'Born to Run'

[v8jago]

Are you keeping the chassis and cage and just getting a few bars put into place to make it tag to 8.5 ?? Any pics of how your struts are mounted Plz

Thats the plan, see how I like it,then maybe sell the tagged 8.50 chassis if I want to move up a stage, it will always have a value if tagged. I will post pics as soon as I get them, we can always take a ride over sometime if you want to take a look. Cheers Ken

Its a bit far to go just to look at how the front shocks are fitted as im around 1 hr 20 mins north of you and would cost me about £30 in fuel and if i had it i would have to spend it on the pop. If you cant get any pics yet ill wait till its done and have a good look at the whole car. Im not in a position to buy the chassis for quite sometime yet but who knows what the future holds. P.S my car has a serious roof chop and your chassis and cage are standard so i would have to think of alternative routes
But thanks for the offers mate.

Hi Adam, I think I will be going all the way with what iv'e got, but hey who knows what might happen, we have a chopped one and a normal one,I could get a chassis made for the chopped one! But im tall like you, im sure we will do some stuff in the future ;D I will send you pics of the front end as soon as I get some, keep in touch if you are going to any race meetings, Chreers Ken

Ken sent me these pictures to post. There appaers to have been some great progress made by Brian on the front end of 'Born to Run' Here there has been a new pair of front chassis legs and front crossmember with the flip front hinges built in. The old Viva set up done away with and a fully adjustable strut set up fitted to deal with the BBC motor.

Flip front fitted, note this has been made with blue gel coat with the same colour code as the final paint finish





Nice work there Kenny, Brian is looking after you.

One of many project posts I hope as the winter months approach, come on lets see some more.

Cheers Bomber (Kenny)
