General Baxter

Edd
02-09-10, 08:37 PM

Baxter, why's it no a proper one ? lol

I would get a Syper if it wasn't for my girlfriend saying she will move out if I by another rot box lol lol lol

Edd

were they buit in mk2 spec? ( i know nuffin about them lol )

Edd
02-09-10, 08:47 PM
Not sure on the mk2, a quick look on corsa-a.com would tell you

Duick's is mk2 iirc

Bazil is naughty lol planted the thought of Spyders in Edd's head again lol

Edit: looking on corsa-a.com the first made them in 1983 so mk1

bazil
02-09-10, 08:49 PM
muhhahahahahah, tis not everyones cup of tea but i knows you like them :)


psst go look at all the asconas and mantas and early cavies etc etc

I think it looks good, but lets face it, driving it will probably be a disappointment. It'll be floppy in the corners & wont turn many heads I shouldnt think.

Edd
02-09-10, 09:38 PM
I would think you would have to worry more about it being floppy if you had the mid engine one lol

craig green
02-09-10, 09:41 PM
I dunno. Atleast the engine is centrally mounted, wheras with front mounted all the weight is at one end.

Have to say that doesn't float my boat at all, not in a million years would I swap your sport for that! I take it they are very rare?

It probably would... but not for the right reasons lol

If I seriously thought about it then no I wouldn't just really like them

Been looking in to get a Spyder for a while, Mark/Novacabrio offered me one for a good price but the lady ko'd the idea lol

02-09-10, 11:11 PM

Edd
02-09-10, 11:16 PM

Same here Burgo, I'm seriously going to look into build a mid engined Michalak rep when the Sports finished.

If you look at the pics of the mid engined one it's has the front chassis legs in the back, very interesting the way it's done IMO

I'll search for some pics

Edd
02-09-10, 11:28 PM
Here's a pic of the mid engine

http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/EDDRODGERS/0719d44b.jpg

Awesome the way it's done IMO some so badly needs to do a rep

Not sure how you'd go about getting the roof/engine cover done tho

.... someone else bought the blanking plates you were after mate

burgo
02-09-10, 11:32 PM
engine cover is easy, make a template out of wood/mdf to then take a mould and then finally a fibreglass cover. roof is the hardest bit but i have it pictured in my mind of how to do it lol

WNAT SO MUSH!

Edd
02-09-10, 11:37 PM
It almost looks like he's cut the front end off one nova and welded it in the back of another to create it


........must finish the Sport lol

See that michalak is the only car i would ever want in a vauxhall world these days. I know someone who came so close to buying it, The seller has to want to sell her first though.

Edd
