FS: Formula Ford Chassis, Body, and Bike Engine, $650

Many of you have seen this before. I've had it for over a year and haven't done anything with it. Doesn't look like I'm going to anytime soon.

Here's what I've got:

Titan Formula Ford chassis, sandblasted, primed and painted. It has brake and clutch pedals in place.

Macon Formula Ford body. Not a perfect fit to the chassis, but should be able to be adapted fairly easily.

Honda CBR 600 engine with oil cooler and carbs. No ignition.

$650.

The original plan was to build it into a Challenge car, but it would also be a great place to start if you wanted to build an AMod autocross car. It's in Connecticut. It will easily fit in the back of a small pickup.

If it wasn't in Connecticut, I would be all over that. Despite the fact I have no moneys but I have no way to get it and no where to store it.

Oh I want this! Too bad it's halfway across the country.

Wow!

Woody, NO, say it aint so. Ive been waiting on a build thread for that thing ever since you got your hands on that FG body. I hope someone from here gets a hold of it, that needs to stay in the GRM family! GLWS!

Do you know where to source all the needed parts, suspension and such?

I had planned to fabricate my own suspension and steering from a donor Miata, but there are many sources like Apexspeed to find used FF components.

I wish I could take it, but I have no room or time to do anything with it either...

Sorry. I was all excited about the project when I picked it up, but then I got hurt at work and had to have a couple of surgeries, which kind of torpedoed my enthusiasm.

So much potential...

Somebody buy this and get to work - the $2011 Challenge will be here before you know it.

Anybody seen that Subaru 360?

OK, so I've got a question...

For the Challenge, what was going to be your approach to Rule #5 (production-based passenger cars only)?

I would imagine it would be in the Locost class.

Not if it has a production body on it.

Are you saying that is a passenger car?

I ran into Tim at Lime Rock a bunch of years ago and approached him with the idea of a Challenge Formula Car. He said, "Bring it down and we'll find a place for it."

Sounds like a plan.

Of course, I knew that, but I was curious.

I've seen it around. Word is it may make a run at 2012 after I move.

Does anybody have an estimate on what it would cost to get this thing to driving condition? I'm mainly worried about the suspension setup, interior and finding fitting parts. Any input?
