Andy Chaffey's Coupé Replica

A new project for 2011/12

After purchasing a new bodyshell from Wheeler & Davies, Andy is fitting an Archers' fibreglass rear body section, with a Sebring Coupé top and bonnet. The roll-cage has recently been installed and he is now (29 August 2011) awaiting some different bonnet hinges, and for a battery box to arrive. Next stage will be the painting of the bodywork in gun-metal grey similar to that of Paul Woolmer's PMO200, before assembling the engine, for which he has acquired an Arden 8-port cylinder head. The garage that are doing the bodywork (John Brooker of Leeds near Maidstone, Kent) fitted the aluminium front wheel arches for him, ~ they were purchased from Archers Garage, where Andrew makes them up on request.

Jan 2012 Update: "The bodyshell is back, fully painted .... in gunmetal grey, same as PMO200. I have just started fitting up, ... front shocks on and roll cage in, lots to do but I'm happy with it so far ... have attached some pics showing delivery of shell, new Peter Caldwell front shocks and powder coated axle with Wolseley 1500 backplates for 9" drums".

I plan to follow Andy's build-up of his new car as the months go by so look out for regular additions to this page.
