Added new YouTube on suspension progress and encouragement for new builders to research on forums like Lamboclone.

Charley Strickland (76MX) picked up my body from Dur-A-Flex Wednesday and is on his way back to Texas.  More pictures on on FB page.

Setbacks are part of the build process. If it was easy, then everyone would be building one. Good you found the issue early. Keep up the meticulous work! Great build!

Was making progress and going to start on suspension when I had a bit of a setback. Discovered that I had warped my frame. Need to get that fixed then move on. Will get my body from Dur-A-Flex in January.

Working on getting the suspension components. Got 2 Corvette C5 spindles, Timkin 5 x 120mm hubs for rear. S10 hubs for Corvette spindles but needed to have them re-drilled to fit the 5 x 112mm bolt pattern with 14mm x 1.5 studs to match the studs on the Timpkin hubs. OEM Lamborghini hubs do not have studs, they use lug bolts.  Also had to have the center of the front rims milled out to 70mm to accommodate the larger color on the S10 hubs.
Also managed to score a Brand New Audi B7 A4 2.0T FWD GVD 6 Speed Manual Transmission OEM 01X 300 044 for $1082 thanks to 76MX alerting me to the great buy.

First purchase from eBay. OEM 19' and 20" rims. Fun fact, on this years model, rears are 5 x 120mm and fronts are 5 x 112mm. Found Timpkin 120mm hubs with 30 spline centers for rear. Have S10 (5 x 4.75) hubs to fit Corvette knuckles for front but will need to have them re-drilled to 5 x 112. Will post progress as it happens.

Lambobuilder's Aventador Build
« Reply #1 on: October 23, 2020, 06:29:23 PM »
I am going to start an Aventador build. Chassis will be an NAERC chassis modified for the Aventador. I have placed my order with Dur-A-Flex for the body. I've had the partial built chassis for 16 years that has been hanging in my shop. Just getting started and I know I will have questions as I proceed. Also have a FB group where I will also be sharing updates. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3335191356516378
