An interesting pile of bits.
Looks very much like the first Ulster kit I bought and built 27 years ago.
It was also on a ruby chassis, with chris Gould fibre glass body.
You are in a good position to ask questions and do justice to the build.
As I unterstand all the fibre glass bodies were short wheel base, and are numbered. I think mine was quite high around 86. Although about eight years ago I brought number 3 back from Holland?
Has the chassis been SHORTEND, if so how was it done.
Also my opinion only, I feel the 17 inch wheels never look right on an Ulster. and will never have been rebuilt in the past, so old warn spokes on a car you are likely to want to go faster than a ruby may not be the best idea.
I'd look into getting a set of 19 inch wheels built up with new spokes and rims. After the shock of what it costs, I can show you plenty of ways to make saving in other areas to make up for it.
