right heres a few more pics so far.bearing in mind that the beam has been moved up 2" to allow for the larger diameter wheels so the car still sits low.the frame is made from rollcage tubing and will be braced up later.

still haven't got the hang of loading pics.still there on here.the templates are for mounting the beam and bracing the tubes to the sills.the boot floor and the new wheel tubes will add further strength.

it look's like it's going to look cool, dont get me wrong, but it just seem's like alot of hassel for little, if any gain, surly it would make sense to put a nice v8 and rwd gear in there to go with the drag (sort of) look...

yes i know it seams a lot of work for little gain but it will look cool as fxxk.its about doing something a little different.plus its an every day car and a v8 would cost a fortune to run.(i do have a v8 but thats for another project
