Another new Viper owner

[hardhat_harry]

Just bought a rather mouldy body and chassis that had been in someones garden/garage for a while. The guys on the forum have identified it as a Viper and sent me here (feels like I been sent to the corner of the class for being naughty )

Has anyone got any build instructions for the Viper as I dont know where to start?

If you want to see the pictires they're on the discussions forum under can anyone identify this kit.

Cheers

No, your still in the same place as before, just on a different page.

Hi mate.

Manuals for a viper are very few and far between.

Or more than likely non existant.

The best source for what you need is right here within the club.

i have a copy of a build manual which i am taking some info from but it is not viper specific.
Also try to get hold of the SVA manual (there is a draft copy available). As long as you build to that you'll be OK.

Best bit of advice i can give is not to panic or worry.

These take a little longer to sort but give great satisfaction when things come together.


BUT overall don't be afraid to ask a question. It will be highly unlikely that someone has not come across a solution for anything you can come up with.

Harry I loaned my Viper manual to another guy in Belgium but quite frankly even if you had one it would be of no benefit although large it was full of S-itte.

I have got 1 chassis with a granada rear axle and diff fitted and front axle not fitted and one body without doors, bonnet and boot plus 1 x 2.9 cologne engine and 3.5 rover engine.

The first question is where do I start I am assuming suspension and brakes.

The engine bay seems very bare where do I get brackets for battery, master cylinders etc. and how do I locate where they should go?

Get in touch with Iain he has a manual although like as has been said, it is pretty useless ( according to Iain as I have not really looked at it ). Another good tip is to get in contact with Iain I am sure he will post here soon as he sees this thread. Good luck and welcome to the mad house.
