Hello everyone, I cant believe im just now finding this forum. Like some other posts ive seen, im in an epically long build as well. I dont know that im building a Terrapin per se, but it is a late sixties style formula car.
So far ive gathered a 1.8 pushrod Subaru engine with matching 5speed, miata uprights and brakes, all the chassis tubing, plus many other pieces.
Just a little about me...I'm 30, a certified welder, was on a FSAE team, worked as a fabricator at a drag chassis shop (briefly), worked as a mechanic for Skip Barber (briefly) all just to learn skills to build this d**n car that has become the number one thing on my bucket list.
By the way, I have read and own two of Mr Staniforth's books. I dont have High Speed Low Cost and I would love to get my hands on a copy.
