Thought it about time I introduced myself. Moved to Canada from Uk 6 years ago, have lived in Ontario, Alberta twice and BC. Spent most of my life restoring British classics, both in the UK and here at various shops. About to start a MGRV8 style conversion for a customer using a set of panels I have and running a Ford 302.

Another of my projects is my Lotus7 V8, I started it about 18 months ago. Wide body for lardarses such as myself. 1.25” main frame tubes. She runs a 300bhp Mustang 5.0L, T5 tranny and 8.8 back axle. Front uprights are Miata. Chevette rack which is a little slow. No real problems with the build. Made all the panels from fiberglass. Goes well!

Hi There Gavin:

I would like to welcome You & Your Neat Little Rdstr to this Outstanding, Informative & Fun Forum:

She sounds "Great"! Has to be a Blast putting the "Pedal to the Metal" or (Fiberglass)" going into those turns:

Enjoy the Ride Here;

GavinR...WELCOME..looking forward to your posts...
 
Hi Gavin...

I've met him before and he really is a great guy... Although all his moves of the last three years are making me dizzy, last I recall (two years ago?) he had moved to Vancouver, and I first met him in Ontario about five years ago perhaps? when he lived there... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Looks like a fun Lotus Seven you're building for yourself, it looks to be quite fast
 
Hey Gavin,

I don't go to Edmonton much, I really don't know anyone up there and of course there is that Calgary - Edmonton rivalry that I'm sure you know about /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

I was there back in June for the British show, did you attend that one?
