cheers, and by the way , you are ALL worthy, this is just a hell of alot work... 
Well, things got clogged... a lot of my driveline parts got lost in transport, supposed to be in norway in end of may, and did not show up at all, so i lost my motivatation for working this summer on the car...as i would not see it run anyway.
Luckily the parts where sourced again, long story, but we found them in new york.
Coming some updates both here and in PFM during this autumn...
Thanks for showing such entusiasm and interest in the project!!

A few old pics...
Here's the rear suspension , almost finished, quite a few mods on this one as well,comming from a 2004 mustang Cobra R, the "beam" now features solid mounts to the new rear frame of the car with no bushing,driveshafts are modded ones, bladed anti roll bars, made it ready for the adjustable tracktion controll system and there's also a steel brace around the rear housing of the 8.8" plated diff now, but... I made some more quite major mods to suspension when I found out I had extra time due to other parts missing...think you might gonna see that in PFM next month??

Wow, freaking amazing! There's only one place to run that thing flat out for miles... USA! LOL Ok, well the Salt Flats, no other place you can do it except here. Of course I'm just saying that so I can have a chance to see the car here LOL.
Awesome dude, just freakin awesome.

Did you see this picture, of the intercooler test fitted , i think it is a quite fancy part, and, as most other things on the car , it is totally custom fabricated :

Yes they are, but they're not 8 pots, but 6 pot monobloc brembo ones, and they are good enough for setup of the car. =)

Thanks alot m8!
BUT, let's keep in mind that i'm not doing the Grenade alone by any means , a BIG shout out to mr Ingar Byman who's work could not have been replicated by anoyone else , take into account the somewhat limtited workshop facilities and tooling we have available!!

That is stunning! As much as I admire the car/end product its the workmanship and sheer craftmenship that has gone into this that does it for me!
