Well not done a lot the project been going slow due to a quad bike injury and I just had surgery.

That said the weldings finally finished so when Im mobile next job will be the cage feet and painting the floor inside and underneath.

Then start bolting the car back together.

I also bought a nice new Kempi welder which is just awesome.

cool update!
why have you mounted rear shocks at such an angle??

kps are indeed tiny,even more noticable on big tracks!!

keep up the good work fella

Thanks.

The shocks fouled the body if they were any straighter and I decided not to put turrets in so really down to clearance issues shouldnt effect performance of the shocks.

[the stig]

i got mine almost vert,with atlas axle too!!
i gently heated turrets and dollyd them slightly

keep the ks alive
