Hi Michael

Sorry it on hold for the mo as Frank Da Hoff was doing the welding on it. Now thinking of putting ladder bars on it instead of the shortened IRS setup. Also the motor we have for it may be up for sale so if any one wants a 2276cc Aluminium case, Bugpack Flange Crank, Super Flo's 1 with 42x37, FK46 and straight cut and so on PM me.

We will get the car dun A.S.A.P it going to be a mad little thing. Grin
