New Striker owner

[lsdweb]

Hi All

I thought I'd better introduce myself - I am now the 'proud' owner of a Striker - the car is an early 90s chassis and was used in sprints and hillclimbs in the South West I believe.

I've always wanted a Striker after building a Fury many years ago, and couldn't resist this one when it appeared for sale!

It needs a fair bit of TLC! It'll be stripped back to the bare chassis and the powder coat that hasn't fallen off already will be removed.

The car will be rebuilt for sprints and hillclimbs (road going) and will be fitted with a 1400 K series. It'll run in the Welsh and possibly South West Championships. It may also have an occasional outing in the Welsh Sports and Saloons Race Championship (I live a couple of miles away from Pembrey Circuit).

Welcome and good luck with the rebuild

Thanks Jeff

My first event is in May. I'm not optimistic!

Welcome Wyn,

Keep us posted with the rebuild, and good luck getting it sorted for May.

Thanks guys

I popped the engine out earlier. I couldn't work out why the gearbox wanted to move with it until I realised the gearbox mount isn't fixed to anything!

The engine mounts look a bit unique!

And the 1400 K series almost ready to go in.

Good luck, you seem to have your work cut out to get that done by May.....or am I just slow in building me Striker

[jeffw]

you really want an answer to that?

[lsdweb]

Maybe I'm overly optimistic! If everything came together as planned I could do it......

[peter030371]

You have a plan? Maybe that's what I am doing wrong (and my plans never survive first contact with the family or work anyway!)

I am sure its possible but I am so keen to get mine built and a little envious of everyone else that has the time to get on like you are
