Well there would of been a update tonight but although he can build a good car he cannot use a pc to save his life LOL
Update pics on wednesday although I'm told its not a massive one.
Some parts are off being anodised at the minute, new coilovers are on, new wider track tca's are on.
No doubt I'll have a better idea of where he is with things when he brings his camera over.
Well a late update, Bens been mega busy doing other bits over the last few months and a revamp at his work meant the ramp was blocked in for several months so the car hasn't seen the usual weekly love and attention it usually has !
So as per usual I'll just let the pictures do the talking, any questions I'll do my best !
Some of these pictures are out of order as these are off his camera not mine so apoligies for that.
Wheel resto !

This is some serious build :eek: :thumb:
loving the drump sump location! Was wondering what the bracket was for amongst the powdercoated bits. I wish I had the inclination to spend that kinda money on cars at the moment.
Very nice i wish i had his sort of money lol.REALLY want to hear this when it's done excellent work:thumb:
very cool build, a big update, hes been fairly busy then lol..
i wanted to ask about the exhaust manifold - you show the boss welded in for lambda then on the next pic a custom little bracket welded to where one of the 2-into-1's is.. whats that for..?
I have to say it appears tucked up against that dry sump quite well, for road clearance.. something ill be trying to do with the same manifold.. (SBD/BTB..?)
awesome
