I see your not to far being in Corley, how far along are you with this ? I see some bodypanels on it, but what about al the rest ? Glass / Lights / exhaust / roof etc ? Would be interested in maybe coming down and having a look. Also you mentioned a £10k price.. what would this included (ie. glass etc)

cheers

MANY THANKS FOR THE INTEREST

THE BASIC KIT WILL INCORPORATE BODY SHELL AND REPLICA DASH BOARD
ALL HINGES (BONNET ,DOORS ,ENGINE COVER)
SPACE FRAME CHASSIS WITH WISHBONES AND UPRIGHTS ( VERY LITTLE WORK TO GET ROLLING CHASSIS)

GLASS PACKAGE WILL BE AVAILABLE PRICE IS NOT YET FINALISED

AS FOR A DONOR YOU COULD PUT THE SHELL ON A DONOR OF YOUR CHOICE BUT AS IT DIMENSIONALLY THE SAME AS THE REAL CAR THE DONOR WOULD HAVE TO BE STRETCHED OR MODIFIED IN SOMEWAY

AS FOR THE ROOF IT WILL BE MANUAL FOLD DOWN

WE WILL ACCOMODATE ANY ENGINE PACKAGE THE DEMONSTRATOR IS RUNNING A V8 S4 AUDI ENGINE , WE HAVE ALSO MADE A JIG FOR SMALL BLOCK CHEVY AND THE LSX RANGE

A V6 TRANSVERSELY MOUNTED TOYOTA ENGINE A BOX WILL BE FINE

THE CAR AS IT STANDS HAS NO ENGINE OR GEARBOX AS IT WAS REMOVED AFTER MANUFACTURE OF
THE ENGINE CRADLE  THE CHASSIS WAS ROLLING WITH STEERING COLUMN STEERING RACK DOORS BONNET AND ENGINE COVER HINGED .

THE CHASSIS JIG IS CURRENTLY UNDERCONSTUCTION .

I am actually losing sleep over this gallardo, keep on thinking about it!! my girlfriend is getting fed up with me going on about it!

I know you are called spydersportscars but are you looking into creating a hard top coupe as the gallardo originally was?

Also are original wheels being used? what about brakes? are you making a custom made like for like exhaust. How does the S4 sound compared to the real v10?

Sorry for all the questions, i feel like a kid on xmas day!
