Must admit I'm pretty ignorant about the subject of rose joints - the ones I have fitted were scrounged of a crop sprayer!lol
Anyways I'll try what i've done and see how it goes - its not a major job to convert them. Hopefully being as I dont have a heap of torque or a lot of weight there wont be a breakage.

You're right about the belt as well - i checked on SBD - i think i'll take everyones word about itlol

no worries on the 1800 advice mate, hth:thumb: look forward to seing this all together again:)

Hi Lee,

I would like to second the thanks on the 1800 advice, bit rude of me no to get back to you. Your build looks pretty special too, long ay on from the old days when we met in MK and our first corner experience at Silverstone!

Back to topic, and I'm just jealous that I don't spend as much time as the lads at the farm working on the car/s.

Oh and Breeny, I believe that you have contibuted to this latest rebuild!

Wahey! What random part has found a use then?

C - Yeh meet up in the summer sounds like a good idea! :)

Top Job. Not entirely how I was expecting them to come out but nicely done.

Looked pretty tragic when just the lids were chopped off.

no worries mate, just figured you'd decided not to go that route, it is still a bit new to be the first option for a small block yet, should be interesting to see the results, but i wont call it special till it makes the numberslol

These pics show the extended rollcage pieces being welded in

A couple of pics of my bro's bargain track day basher. Ex race car - fully caged, plumbed in fire extinguisher, bucket seats, harnesses, decent Ohlin (I think) suspension etc etc ....was bought for the princely sum of ?2500. Cheap as chipslol Incidently dont be tempted to add those trumpet socks - they can lose you massive horsepower!

blimey CP - those strut tops are brilliant!

Dont suppose you know the mod to adjust the camber on a 60mm drop do you! (seem to recall the "file the hub" mod and something about moving the strut top bolts by 7mm outwards???)

The beemer is fantastic - I always wanted one in that old shark nose style -

that beemer is lush. loving the triangulation aswell
