    Hi there - sorry for the late reply. The Axle is a 3.75:1 with Quaife LSD. It comes complete with hubs and discs. They are not cheap, but very nicely made. Hope that helps? Anyway - here are a few photos of the current situation. The interior is painted and looks great (x13 coats of blue over a silver base coat!). The exterior will be started this coming week..... http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae76/KPS_bucket/sdtarlet010.jpg [​IMG]

    Hi there. Good question re. the cage. First reason was because I got a new bolt-in virtually FOC! Second is that if I want to restore it to a more conventional interior at some stage in the future it will be fairly easy. The cage won't be perfect anyway because I am not having rear cross bracing - this will make it more discreet and more in line with my sleeper image. (It will be tied into the roof though as well as bolted to 6 points on the floor/rear arches, so it will be better than nothing in terms of stiffening things up).

    On the suspension we opted for a fifth link panhard rod set up on the axle in the end.

    Regards, Stephen
