The Plan:
'book' chassis, using Mcsorley book chassis plan.  See http://mcsorley.net/locost/ 

Toyota 1.8 litre, 3T-C engine.   I found a deal on a a freshly rebuilt, but then un-used engine from a guy in Saskatoon.  He was moving to BC and didn't want to take it with him.

'81 Toyota Corolla donor car purchased from City of Regina Police Auction. I stripped it and now a five speed trans, driveshaft, rear diff, steering column, pedal cluster, hand brake lever, misc bits and pieces that I might use during the build.

'96 Caterham coil-over suspension

March 21, 2008:  Plan change: will be using Cortina differential and front uprights.

I love those clamshell fenders!   It is too soon to figure out paint colours.  Maybe BRG (naturally !), maybe flat black.  decisions, decisions, eh!
