tried the rear wheels in the frame today, all seems to fit ok.
i want to run a 12" or 13" wide rear wheel down the line some where so as you can see i have plenty of room. would like to run a 305 or 335x25x22" rear tyre.there will also be a prop shaft loop back and front . ( you never know ).frame will be at garage next friday

yeah cheers, was always going to be tight for space, not so bad at the rear but the front is going to be a nightmare.
long day today but got the rear axle in place, heres how i did it.
and with the wishbones and hubs all in place. still got to tighten all the nuts and bolts but at least its one step closer.

engine and box is now all mounted , started to make a support frame for the turbo as i dont want any issues with the manifolds cracking due to the weight of the turbo.
