To build one from scratch we'll need drawings Jason. We already have FGT9 drawings so it shouldn't be difficult to produce FGT8 drawings, by simply noting the differences. This will involve taking measurements off an existing FGT8 body, of which there's at least one in Victoria I believe.

In my case I'll need drawings for both, as I have the remains of 3 FGT8s as well as a FGT9. None of them have bodies so if I live long enough I may have to build four of the bloody things! I'm thinking of tackling a FGT8 resto first, as it may suit my plans better. If so I'll need to work up some drawings quite soon, as I'll be starting on the body rather than the chassis. That's because I now have a complete running F15A to get around in (purchased yesterday!) so there's no need to restore another one now.

I'll start putting my mind to the drawings and let you know how I get on.
