My Roadster ... Oops!!!!!

well I guess we all make mistakes. I got hold of an Escort MK4 steering rack last year and set about lengthening it and then fitting it to my car. Errr.... should have been a MK2 or a manual seirra as these steer their hubs from the front...unlike the MK4 which steers from the rear...haha...hope you emjoyed this little Bloomer...lol like most thinks in life that go wrong...they are all easily fixed :)

That will certainly prevent car theft!

@ArtemiaSalina :) haha...thats the same thing my sister said, but she even wanted me to leave it that way and to see how far I could drive it.....hmmmm...think I will pretend I didnt hear her say that :)

@sixstringbiker My cousin used to build Harley choppers. He told me how he once used a servi-car tranny in a bike of his. The Harley Servi-cars were trikes w/ 3 spd + REVERSE gear. He said it was no problem because HE knew that the tranny had reverse but anyone trying to steal it would find out the hard way! Best anti-theft device ever! :-) Good luck with your roadster. It looks outstanding so far!

Where is the Problem... the only thing you have to do is learn to steer the other way when driving :)

@MagnumSports Hello to you and thanks for your comment, I have sorted the steering out and it will soon be all fitted and turning the right way. these home builds are much more affordable that you may think due to the time it takes to fabricate everything. the cost will be evenly spread out over 18 months or more and with help from family and friends and also gaining good advice from youtube world its achievable...honestly...so stop waiting and get stuck in.

Best wishes Paul

Hey YEAH! :)

I am studying Enginnering too, like one at your first video and im totaly happy with you. Cant wait to see this thing on the street. One of my dreams is to build my own kitcar but with only 23 years im quite unable to afford this project :(

How much did u spent on this beast so far?

Greetings from Germany ;)

@Grappler130 :) thanks for viewing my silly video ..haha...the easy fix is to swap out the steering rack for another. and to that end I have already sorted out a ford seirra steering rack. this does indeed steer the hubs from the front and should't take more than a few hours and perhaps a small redesign :)
