    It’s the cutting out of metal (part of the monocoque) between the centres of the wheel hubs that’s more the issue.

    Is that not just the inside ? To be honest colin im sure we could go around the paddok and find allsorts with other cars .im pretty sure there are a few novas that race done this way . And 1 other thing i thought of wat would happen if the rear quaters had really bad rot in them can you even still get the rear quaters .and to be honest if people do winge ill go in sports libre and put a bike engine in it

    Yeah they are very nice bud ill be super happy when i can get them on the car .
    To be honest if people moan about them in the class im in for hillclimb then ill get picky about their cars but i cant see it happening in the southwest as we all want to just drive our cars and not pick fault with others or if someone has done something to there car then we all just do the same its funny when you get people who spend thousands on a car and expect to get the results as they think ploughing money in to the car will make them the next brittish champ and one of the cars built by someone with secondhand bits here and there and built in a barn beat them its priceless but they are the picky ones

    Rear 1/4's on their way to you via TNT . I've left the tail light holes solid so it seals better for you with your dummy tail lights on your tailgate. Hope that was ok if not you can always cut them out ! Cheers Dave

    Same in all motorsport mate . Certain drag events that invole people racing in very expensive road going supercars against home made drag cars also get a bit touchy when they realise there cars arnt quite as fast as they thought and like to moan about silly things .
