Locost Builders Greece

Well here I am , Damjan from Serbia, Belgrade a friend from locostbuilders.co.uk told me for this forum so here I am , on the pics the guy in camo jacket with baseball hat , or orange pants and orange scarf on the head

this is my slow but costly project , base on lada live axcel and transition , brake system and front suspension, pedals, Fiat Coupe engine , Harley Davidson shocks , Yugo steering .. supposed to cost all most nothing but so far it is around 3000 euro + tools


some images how it started

engine getting in

engine out for mounting the clutch ...

back in again

wheel steering

flour welded

next

a little tired

steering

test run - hocked on a car

to continue with build

first real test run
back from "Atest" unfortunately with bad news - no wories it is a good build but it is the wrong country... no law that says that You can build a car on your own ... but we will find some holes in the law or just bend it a little ...

Ok hope U like it

so far I menage to finish complete mechanics , now just to make my own fiberglass body because I want a little more modern look , and electrics afterward ..

All best from Serbia

Welcome to our forum. Your chassis looks good!!
Nice engine as well, as long as you have a reliable one!!

Vey nice effort. Concerning the Greek prices, it has not cost you much. Hopefully everything would be ready with 4500Euros. Keep it up and keep us informed. When your baby is ready it would be a nice opportunity to drive it to Greece.
Kind regards
Alex

Gread job Damjan and as i can see you have a big supporting team, great!

Oh, id love to have that powder coater and Mig of yours.
Nice build, although i'm a bit concearned about those custom front upper suspension mounts.

Welcome mate!
Very nice funcky little car!! well done!!
harley davinson sunspension?? why?

front upper suspension mounts are now changed so no worries , harley struts , well because they were 120euro 4 pcs and chromed look nice .. and 14inch length like in the book , have to change rear spring but front work beautify ...

well the problem is that by the Greek prices it ain't much , but Serbian salary is around 400e per month so it is a slow cost project ...

when it's finish who knows Greek ain't far ....

Very nice job Damjan and nice engine. Serres isn’t far.
I’m waiting for you to come to the Serres circuit

bravo I am impressed!
I really like your car so far! I can see only one problem though... you have used a car engine!! WHY????

The Hayabusa was way out off the budget , maybe next time , I will not stop on this one that is for shure

busa is not the only option you ve got! fireblade, R1 etc always available cause people always manage to destroy them frequently, so you can grab a bargain...

This is serbia , there is not under 3000euro enithing like that even beyond recognition ... maybe 2000 when you sell some parts if there is something to sell

this is my brother drivin a friend , from my garage to friends garage to make room for something else I'm doing ... hope you like the video .. it was pretty slow ride because of the traffic jam , and of course we didn;t want to meke to much noise to do not attract police

some design concepts
hope U like it , I' on vacation but it is -4C so it isnt time to work in garage with foam and fiberglass I'll keep U posted on the design

Its damn nice. that is what i think.
You think it is fisible?

As I realise you are planning to make the nose, hood and scuttle one part. Right?
Probably the dashboard will have to be mounted on the chassis, not on the hood and let me as you how are you planning to have access on the engine?

the idea was , to make it all one part , but the dash is fixed to the chassi here's where I found the idea


and the hinges
