Building an F1 Honda BAR003 chassis up - on a budget

[bettonracing]

What are the plans & details for the new car? With the amount of pictures and level of detail you've shown on the previous car, I hope you know we're expecting nothing less for the new car!

Thanks again for sharing and look forward to seeing the new project. If there's any way we can help, let us know.

Regards,

Kurt

Disapointing in a positive way.

However if you need funds to fund the new project, i may be intrested in one of the steering wheels you have. Id like to get a propper F1 steering wheel or a rear wing end plate or something decently reconiseable to start a F1 memrobila collection to add to the side of my 1:43 Minichamps and Spark F1 collection.

Fair play some work gone into this and research

Allthough it has been both interesting and exciting to read about the progress of your project, I think you have done the right thing. You still have a massive project on your hands, but you are now a few steps closer to getting it up and running. Its quite a radical move in the right direction. I have recently had to do some pretty radical rethinking on my project aswell, which I'll explain on the RA107 thread soon. It looks like we will both be up and running sooner than expected! Its really great to have another very similar project to my own as a reference, and true pleasure be able to share developments and problems alike. Well done, Kev, and many congratulations on your new and seriously exciting purchase! Cheers - Bjorn

LOVING ALL THESE HONDA BUILDS!!!!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for my intrusion here but is there any one that could lead me to a genuine Bar003 and a Bar 007 steering wheel? Besides I need a genuine steering wheel for my Honda Bonneville 400 (I believe that would be the same as the Bar 007) Any leads will be rewarded with 500 Pounds, and I will pay a good price the items themselves! The same applies for a Honda V8 or V10 show engine. I know it's like seeking for a needle in a haystack but there must be some out there. Anyone that has a complete header set for a Honda V8 engine, please contact me too. That would be all Thanks! Mike

There is a Honda v10 on display in a Honda dealer here in Barcelona not sure if it's for sale or not?

Hi Komyo,
my BAR03 steering wheel is not for sale but I have posted a couple of pictures in case anyone spots one. I know a guy who would sell one but its a show wheel and he would want a few thousand for it so not worth asking.
Here is the BAR03 wheel

there is quite a bit of difference when you move to a later RA107 wheel though

Have just added a shot of the steering column, taken before I cleaned up the chassis.

Number on the nose is wrong though, should be 16

Hi Aussie, thanks for letting me know about the video, great stuff.
Currently quiet as working on two projects, both emptying my pockets but I think well worth it, more information to follow
all the best

Nice to finally see who is building this great car

Just a shame the on line program it's on.
Man, I just hate this type of hosts who keep talking loud to guy's behind the camera.
You only see it in the states

Keep your eyes on the camera and talk to your viewers. Is that so difficult
