nice front end pik tom ;D
it looks a tad long in the wheelbase as the body was kinda "thrown" on top to get a look, the body will come back another inch or two before its in its correct position,
8 point cage comes next, and get on with various body mods, all hopefully ready for the hot rod drags at shakey ;D

Nice new pics, me and my dad have been really hard at work, doing more chassis work and welding the body into the chassis, rebuilding the engine and lots of painting. In the pics of the car out the back rolling, the engine and gearbox is actually bolted all solid in the chassis which means we are making excellent progress with the car, afterall, we are trying to get it done for septembers hot rod drags! I'm limited on how many pics I can put up due to my little brother been 'very busy' lol, more work has been done since these photos, like the bulkhead, pedals mounted, new coils on the front to raise the front...we will be starting on the flooring soon! hope you like should be done very soon!!

That's absolutely wicked. solid mounted engine delivers more power to the wheels as less poweer is absorbed in the mounts. its a theory i have read about. keep up the grand work.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

Awesome project I though that ladder frame will never hold up at first but now youre welding it to the shell and making a bulkhead etc that looks bombproof ;D. What are those auto boxes like though, i always though light shell&lazy auto would be a bit ?!?!

Lol, yeah the chassis is mega strong now its mostly done! me and my dad have been hard at it. it's still extremely light too!! no room for a clutch pedal even if it didnt work that well, I recon the auto will be awesome in it though, we shall soon see anyway!! thanks for the comment
