Hi All

Having now finished my own SSC/Sylva Stylus Kit, I've just got involved with a Viper project, bought by my uncle on ebay 3 yrs ago.

He's now in his 60s & lost the will to carry on, needed a kick to refresh the interest. Hopefully we'll pass SVA with it before he's 6 feet under !!.

Allegedly its a Cobretti, but having read a few threads, maybe not !

All the GRP bits are there, plus a (now rolling) cortina front / sierra rear chassis. Engine/ Man Gearbox & V5 are Rover SD1 Vitesse.

First thing done was to convert 4 stud Ford to 5 Stud Granada all round & fit some ex GT40 Revolutions.

Now busy fitting the GRP floor (round tunnel, for those that know what that means) & body.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer, now or later.

Cheers

Matt
