the rear stuts are further inboard and taller, the rears are usually separate spring and shocker with semi trailing arms, this is now a mcphereson setup.

Re: new rally car in build 09/04/08

nothing really im on the middle of the wiring, but have just moved house and need to build a new workshop !

Re: new rally car in build 09/04/08

ok some bits, the wiring

been making the looms in separate parts, so that if i need to add on then its not a full loom strip




switch box in centre console area


like i said, very small bits happeing now, I have a 15 month old boy who takes up alot of my free time, and when i started this he wasnt even here, as neither was the credit crunch, so things will still progress slowly next year.
we have just moved to a bigger house with, strangley enough alot mor eland for a bigger workshop - fancy that !

So what i was going to spend on a gearbox and front diff (15K) is going to be spent on the new workshop.
