[buzz808]

i have been offered here in new zealand the moulds and chassis jigs for the McRae 550 spyder,i have found some info on them,seems to have been a very accurate and well finished kit,not many sold here in NZ mainly abroad it seems,we are considering building a few of these up to turn key or kit body chassis combo,would like to see if there is any interest really,we have a few maybes here but if there is any one interested in uk of even europe would love to here of any interest,also any one who has one of the original batch of McRae spyders would love to here from you and maybe some of photos of your car,any feed back good or bad on these spyders would be appreciated

thanks for that,they are good links,will be in touch with these people,just come back from the guy selling all the McRae moulds and chassis parts,i can see a lot of changes especially in the chassis area compared to the guy who rebuilt his in aussie,rear suspension now runs 914 rear suspension with coil overs,and 4 joint rear,as you mentioned the body shape is close to original,how close i will be checking in the next few months,this for us is an exciting project and a little different compared to the usual restoration work we do,hope to have some more news and some results in the next few months
thanks for the feed back
