New member intro from Georgia
Jets303:
Welcome to the club dude! We can tell you what it is and who built it if you post a pic. Tons of info on the site and a lot of us have built a triangle G car before so if you have any questions feel free. My old murcie build is on the Mad mechanics site under Jets303 if you need to see how I made doors and such.
04Murcie:
Hello all, I've lurked here and wished for years, and I finally bought my project Lambo car last December. It started as an 86 Fiero SE V6 that was stretched and had enough of a support structure made to attach a fiberglass copy of a 2004 Murcielago Roadster body. Looking at the headlight buckets, I suspect it is a Triangle G body but have no evidence to support that.
As far as facts go, the Fiero title transferred to me with no issues. I've got very little else. No interior parts other than the blue velour seat out of a mid 80's Chrysler product, no climate controls, no speedo nor dash to put it in, nothing. I got a pan, a malfunctioning engine that spewed brown, foamy liquid from the side of the RTV-caked waterpump, a fiberglass body, and some dry rotted tires on rims that I think should never go under a Lambo.
Someone welded up some body supports and bones for the doors and got them mounted OK. The fellow I bought it from said he had only done minor work on it and lost interest and I believe it. Now I've taken it on and am starting with the advice on here to look at it as a bunch of smaller projects. Aware of the 2-3% completion of kit cars in general, if I complete the car it will be a 33% success rate.
While I've got some specific plans for her, I'm all about learning from your suggestions, so thanks for the resources already here and any that are yet to come. So far I've redone the front suspension and added airbags so I can raise the nose for driveways, and I think I've talked myself into the 3.4 engine swap. After that, who knows?
