I'm pretty sure the guy that did the roadworthy had no idea what he should be looking for. I ordered sunvisers & wind wings from Snake bite yesterday |

I'll start the process of elimination: It's not a DRB

Here's a list if some UK builders t work through, if it helps:
AK Ayrspeed (won't be this - Mazda mx5 donor based) Cobretti Viper Crendon CR427 Dax Tojeiro Gardner Douglas (289 based so not this either) Hawk 427 (no. Cause this is really a Kirkham) Pilgrim Sumo Realm/Ram |
Actually, looking at the pics again the bonnet scoop is quite wide. Wider than most I've seen. The most likely UK kits would be Pilgrim, Corbretti or Dax, and the pilgrim had a narrow scoop, whereas the Dax was more like yours.
Did you say it had Jag front end? That was usual for Dax. Maybe you take it round to JBs and compare! Of course this is assuming it is UK. PS: you've done well if your did score a Dax! Nice cars. Here is the factory demo Dax: http://www.apuo47.dsl.pipex.com/daxs...In_Tojeiro.jpg |
Now the bonnet is up, I would now say NOT a DRB.
It's missing some bracing and "shelf" arrangement in the engine bay. See pic Rear guards are wrong shape for a DAX Sly, has it got independent rear suspension or trailing arm? What about front - forged A arms or pressed steel? https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...JjXnCnzPUvnqlM |
Don't know if this is helpfull,I rang 3 months ago to buy this car,and was told it was a drb

The front part of the suspension (ill take pics) what i would call the crossbember, is a weird looking curved shape if that helps anyone, note is also runs a steering box, rather than a rack. Quote:

Sounding like a Toyota Crown based something....
Cheers |
DRB torana based front suspension used rack and pinion, so probably not that. Sounds like mine with Crown front end and jag rear. This is not a bad set up if it's done right, just gotta get past the stigma that the old crown kits earnt. The chassis rails will tell you how much of the crown was used.
It is definitely not a G-Force body. Could be an early Autostyling body. Not many kits used the wider tapper Mini headlight rims. Whatever it is the body work appears very well finished. |
looks like a DRB engine bay to me!

Does your DRB 2000 have the bracing in the engine bay same as standard DRB? |
my bad, yes the red one didn't read the post properly,

Ok, Ive been scouring the engine bay looking for something to help, it seems to have the original VIN number still on the chassis, it seems to be a ford front chassis it starts off 6F9AMCC0896 XXX < the rest is scrubbed out. I've searched the VIN register, seems to be Ford something.
Note, this is not the current VIN, it has that stamped on one of the frame rails. David Hodgson I think you may be right though, I just googled crown front end and it looks very similar to this, here are a couple of crude photos I managed to take of the front clip. http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5ba0ebc3.jpg http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5aa010a5.jpg it looks very similar to the one on this page Ozrodders.com • View topic - 49-54 chevys who has em? |
