I'm going Seven shopping

It has had a replacement chassis a long time ago. I'm actually happy about this as the original chassises were more than a little on the weak side. I was tossing and turning nights wondering if I would take a torch to it and fit the required reinforcements.
I have a 4-2-1 header on its way and the 4-1 with the drain pipe exhaust will go in the bin. I'll fit a Magnaflow muffler with a tail pipe out the back as per original.

Congratulations!!! I'm envious, JB!! She's a beauty. I am told the "swoopy" front fenders can catch the wind but I still prefer them to to the motorcycle style.
Blitzen:
Great looking machine. Looks like a lot of fun. I have to ask how did you find it. I didn't notice any ads for it, but I usually only check the commonl classified suspects within the province..

Terry is very knowledgeable and friendly. He is also super busy as his main gig is as an FIA rep and driving instructor.

BDA, a Seven is a proverbial brick. Mine will have about 84 hp and top out just shy of a 100. If you hop it up, you can get to 120 hp no problem but the aerodynamics are so bad you only gain maybe 5 or 10 mph in the top speed. I've no plans to go much over 70mph in it as that is about the limit before you are just chucking fuel out the back for little more effect.
