Hi All

 

Newbie member, newbie builder,

I have just bought a part built Zero from a private seller, complete with donor vin plate and V5. Yellow GRP with ally panels

It has the following spec and I would welcome any thoughts and opinions.

 

Fitted:

Ford 2 litre Dohc 8v non cat- head skimmed and polished

MT75 gearbox

Diff- dont know ratio- donor was a `92 Sierra GT

Adj Gaz allround

Acewell digi dash

GBS supplied rad & fan

 

To be fitted:

R1 bike carbs with alloy inlet manifold

Exhaust - need to source a manifold

Aeroscreen- need to source

 

If anyone has good or bad points I would love to hear them

Cheers Paul

Hi Paul,

 

I wiould try and get a different engine in as quick as you can, i don't thingk the old DOHC engine does the Zero justice. A Zetec would bolt straight up to the the MT75 gearbox and be a good swap, much lighter and you can get 150+ hp from a 2.0l on those bike carbs

 

just a thought

I've got the same aeroscreen as Bone bought.

I didn't connect mirrors to it as thought it wouldn't be strong enough.

I will look at putting up some photos tomorrow.
