I needed some Basic IVA glass for my Hot Rod. This Hot Rod will need BIVA testing to get a registration and VIN number. Therefore it needs EC43R marked glass.…

Dimple die or Hole swage tools add that 'trick' look to any fabricated Steel or Aluminium project. They not only lighten a panel, with careful choice of size, they actually…

I finally got my hidden hinge working as previously I was having problems with it fouling just before the second stop. I’m not good at imagining things in 3 dimensions,…

In order to get the hidden hinge to work, the 'A' pillar will need some modification. I started by creating a 15.5mm deep recess for the lower hinge to sit…

I'm using Golf MK5 hardware as my hidden hinges. I couldn't picture whether the door was going to clear the pillar, so I had to mock everything up first.

My fabricated Hot Rod door is not going to be easy. Considering I'm new to this metalwork lark, I'm actually finding it quite fun.

How much negative camber is needed for a lightweight road car? The answer seems a little harder than simple looking it up on a chart.

Getting a fully adjustable rear suspension set-up on a Kit Car is not easy. With the use of Urethane, Clevis and rose joints I think I have found the best…

As a vehicle brakes, the front has a tendency to dive. This can cause the car to become unpredictable and therefore it is important to minimise this effect. Anti-Dive geometry…

Haynes Roadster Rear Suspension is quite basic. Why not spice up the mix with Anti Squat, camber, caster and toe in and out adjustment, just like a Formula 1 race…

Haynes Roadster Rear Suspension based on the Ford Sierra is a common choose. Anti Squat geometry has been included to give better acceleration.

Kit Car Adjustable Suspension has always been a compromise, but this design employs polyurethane joints, clevis and rose-joints to achieve complete camber and caster compensation.

A Nissan 300zx Z32 short wheelbase will donate it's side windows.

You see renderings of concept cars all the time, but this Haynes Roadster rebody will actually get built and will use standard production parts. Finding the right ones is hard.

Haynes Roadsters can use some pretty old parts, that will turn up in rather rusty condition. These Granada rear hubs were cleaned up using electrolysis and the results even surprised…

Fitting 4x4 to a Haynes Roadster cannot be easy. The Sierra front differential needs modifying and strengthening to suit it's new position ahead of the engine.

There are tons of components on this Locost build, some may seem insignificant, but somewhere down the line you will find that they clash with something much more major. E.g.…

Every part of this Haynes Roadster will be drawn up in AutoCad. The next component to be drawn is the Ford Sierra Front Differential.

Fitting 4x4 to a Haynes Roadster cannot be easy. The Sierra front differential needs modifying and strengthening to suit it's new position ahead of the engine.

For this Haynes Roadster build I'm going to use a Ford Sierra Front differential but the Cosworth sump will be thrown away. To regain some strength some new mounts will…

Like many Locosts or Haynes Roadsters this build will use a Sierra Tripod Differential. Drawing it up in AutoCad has taken quite a few lunch hours!. I did notice that…

Finding a Ford Escort Cosworth 4x4 LSD Diff for this Locost / Haynes Roadster build has taken ages. The prices are rocketing and the choices are getting limited. Luckily, I…
