And Yeah I probably will be, that's one of the next things I have to decide on, just haven't had much time, which sucks
But ive just got MT to price up the mag Rear end they have in at the moment so hopefully he'll get back to me pretty soon Yours is looking very nice, you using it for track/rally or just fun?

Yeah It was suppose to be done 2 month ago, but because I have been messed around with welding I couldn't get it done. But it was always going to get another acid dip before it got its e-coating.
It does look bad on camera, but it's only slight surface rust and mostly brushes off. Trust me i've been keeping an eye on it lol so its not doing any damage, but hopefully get it done in the next few weeks.

Got a bare engine built up and a box strapped to it, ready for it to be used as a mock up for the new chassis engine mounts to be welded in and to make sure there's enough clearance for the roll cage front cross, hopefully drop it off with Geoff at R.E.D in the next month and then it'll start moving forward again

The Shell engine +box all loaded up, ready to drop off with Geoff at R.E.D in the morning, finally starting to get the project moving again after a few months of waiting for parts etc.
