Stunning! 

Does it still fit on the trailer with so much track width??

[wardy18 33 1 Cars]

Its Road legal  (at least in Guernsey it is - no MOT), although 225bhp / twin plate clutch / wide track width with no power steering / dogbox / gripper diff makes for difficulties when leaving yellow lines!!

 

However, i have had it on a trailer a while back and it did just about fit with the road wheels on, no chance with the 10" race fronts though

Fantastic project..... Great to see it back again.

 

All the best,

O.T.

Very nice. Have you considered using 405 driveshafts? You wouldn’t need spacers then.

[welshpug 1,661]

strut tops are still in standard location so longer shafts wouldn't work, though having a solution to avoid such massive spacers isnt a bad idea at all, an fia or msa sanctioned event wouldn't allow those.

 

steering would be easier too

 

is it a maximotorsport wide front bodywork like Colins?

It does require moving the top out a tad out further, but works very well.

Ha I was waiting for someone to comment on the ridiculous spacers, those are only for my road wheels to get me to and from events, they had the wrong offset but we’re a bargain with R888s so couldn’t say no, race wheels are 10” front and 9” rear Revolutions with the correct offset for no spacers at all.

 

I need to give an update of everything I have done over the last years but one of those it’s longer custom shafts from Colin S, I wasn’t having any luck with his previous cut down and sleeved ones so he made me custom set to my length which are a little longer than 309 shafts iirc as I have changed the mounting position of the wishbones to the subframe

 

The fibreglass front end was hand built by me based on my old panels, took months to complete but has come out fantastically and allowed me to cut much of the front away

Bodywork looks great. 
 

how are the tiny 4 pots? Have you used them in anger yet?

Honestly the car hasnt been driven since they were fitted and i only just bled all the brake system, which also had new braided hoses throughout and new rear calipers, over Christmas just gone.

 

They do look proper good though!!

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

They looked great behind the little revolutions

This is my current painful task, meeting MSA regs by not cutting through either of the 2 bulk heads shown but instead plating either side, bolts to be removed and all sections welded in place.

 

Need to make this thing stronger and safer

 

NOTE: For those keen eyed enthusiasts (all of you!!) the top flat section of the scuttle panel bulk head will be welded back on

Wow, that's bonkers! Any updates?
