And I'd love the blown motor, and have spoke to the guy but can't really stretch to it as the paint job isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for eh ;)
yep your so right jerry/mark this will be the bizo when its done look foreward to seeing you in the pits. ;)

Spent a few hours in the garage tonight building the front end up just the brakes to put together and fit tomorrow night, this is by no means as light as an alterkation or magnumforces tubular k member but it should make the car very drivable

Well on with the flatting and polishing now, went today and removed the bump stops from the front end (they foul the coil overs) ready to install the front end on Thursday

Car is back on it's wheels now, it's still been flatted and polished, Bryan has re-lacquered the car today for one final flat and polish, just the hood and scoop to paint, hopefully have it back on the next week or so to start reasembly
