Infact our cars should be almost exactly the same apart from colour and you have metal arches!!!

what you want is a baby atlas with a Z.F plated diff........well gartrax do a baby atlas with fully floating shafs for about Ł2.5k
you can buy second hand ones for about 500 or you can use a capri and get it shortened... if you do that ....go for the capri 2.8 special axel

Smashing car lads,a credit to the people involved.
I noticed the turbo has no water cooling pipes attached,is that because u had'nt fitted them yet or are u not using them,how will that effect the turbo in operation from day 2 day??

big thanks for doing loom,.. he was going to leave the loom you know at one point ..i said to you have to do it no if's or buts ...
i said to him these cossie engine looms are too old , no point building a decent car without a brand new loom
atlast is ready the engine is all run in now he told me today,he recons all the bolts keep coming lose everywhere lol
i said to him what do you expect when you have got metal to metal everywhere ..all it needs is a bit of lock tight here and there and a bit lockwiring also
Bedford will be only a test day just to iron out any probs ....if everything is ok and it's running fine , i will put him in the passanger seat and open it up for him
cheers marco
