This page has been written for two reasons. Particularly to give knowledge of how to build a GT 40 Kit Car with a Tesla Motor I am in the process of building a GT40 kit car. However having been a Greenie I could not build a 6-litre gas guzzler I decided to use a Tesla electrical motor instead.
In brief I live in
Western Australia and will be building the car in my garage, were I hopefully
will have enough room to build the car.
I had been looking at buying a GT40 from Roaring Forties in Australia and in
March 2020 I went to visit the company, whilst going to the F1. Two weeks later
the company closed down due to COVID lockdown. I had in the meantime purchased a
Tesla motor and it was on its way to the factory. It was not until November 2020
that Roaring Forties opened its door. Soon after the company was bought out by
Robert Logan who makes cars on Philip Island. After conversations with Robert I
am enthusiastic with his technical ability and enthusiasm for the project.
In Western Australia I have been working with Tim, from EV Works in Landsdale
Western Australia. He will be giving me help on the Motor Drive side of the
project. Again Tim appears to have great enthusiasm and technical knowledge.
You can follow the development on Face book GT40E or
Instagram GT40E.
