Groups To Visit

[exlabman]

Hi,

As a newbie looking to get my hands on a new toy/project are there any groups near Eggborough, Selby, York, Doncaster, Wakefield I could check out?

Ideally I'd like to see a few cars to get some pointers of what is good/bad, easy fixes and nightmare repairs.

Obviously if you know of anything suitable for sale please let me know.

Think I'm after a 2B for width of seat, pref <4K

 

Shift worker so some weekday availability.

Cheers

D

4k should get a nice 2b you will certainly get plenty of choice for that money, dont know of any for sale but check ebay, car and classics and on here

i may know where there is a monocoque available for less than that

[Simon Parish]

you could keep your eyes on pistonheads as well

[exlabman]

Piston heads seems a tad expensive, but keeping an eye.

excuse my ignorance but what's a monocoque?

Not opposed to anything else but it was a 2b I saw at the factory years ago.

 

Thanks

monocoque has no chassis, the loads exerted from suspension, engine, load etc are supported by the vehicle structure, like most modern cars.

 

The 2B has a tubular steel chassis that takes all the forces. Panels are not load bearing.

 

I do not offer an opinion as to which is best for an open top seven-esk vehicle, both have there virtues and vices. Just read as much information as you can.
