    Body Datum Point Measurements

    ah ha! look what i found my little modding chums...complete datum point measurements of just about every engine compartment,boot,frunk and chassis points you can think of,now if that aint useful i dont know what is!

    Ive managed to get my oily mits on a very rare manual,its a mk1 BGB for UK spec cars,straight from the toyota dealership! like gold dust the info in this as previously we have had to make do with USDM info and diagrams,so if anyone needs a page scanning from it just let me know.

    These are four pages from said book....this is priceless stuff!

    Damn right thats a good find Paul! I've always had an interest in building tubular chassis, do you think that there's much of a worldwide market for this?

    If you think that there might be i might build a prototype just to see if its econmically viable.... :shades:

    i seriously do mate,if someone knocks up a tubular chassis with all the suspension pickup points on it there could be a lot of interest in that,especially to drag racers etc,a lot of work mind but it would be really cool....go for it!

    In my novice ways - why is getting a tubular chassis such a good thing?? Is it just so you can put all the drive gear in the right place, then make your own body shells?
