I've been collecting parts for this for over a year and I'm just waiting on a couple of parts to finish it off.
New alloy motormount with belt tensioner

Building from a stack of parts and another car takes so much longer but I think is more satisfying I think

Gonna use the ballraced steering I got a while ago on this I just need to de anodise it I think to go with the mount.

Progress has been a little on the slow side but it's now taking shape, I wasn't liking the colour of the steering so that was first.

It's great what a bit of oven cleaner can do

These are the FL front towers that until they arrived I didn't notice they were wrong, but luckily I had a couple of spares.

I think I've settled on the wheels, well until I find some pink ribbed rear wheels if anyone's got some spare?
Body trimmed and just sat till I get an undertray, What do you think?

I saw a guy in the US do this to a high downforce AE wing so I thought I would have a go, it's not the best but for a first attempt I'm more than happy.

When the track dried out fulley it had so much grip I think I need some mini spikes on it rather than pins. But all in all its a great car to drive and I can't wait to get it back out.

Cheers guys and it was a good fun day, Lee all I can say it is such a great car to drive I can't really compare it to anything else it was just so smooth and when you got it right so rewarding.
I'm trying to get into the oooos at Broxtowe if there's a drop out and see how it compares to the modern stuff with my rusty thumbs.
It was the first outing and there's a couple of things I want to change like I want to add a servo hanger like I put on the 92. The tyres also need changing but it went well with a 6.5 in.

Justin i hear you, racing my 92 against moder cars was a blast, car was really on rails, again, a super smooth car with really balanced handling!
Good on ya for taking this bad boy to a race track!
