As for colour, the shell is hoing to be carbon and the frame powdercoated in a really bright colour,
I simply don't know what else to say but Funk. Wow.
Your the man, well your mate is lol
Top fab work, are you worried about the angle of the drive shaft's at all, or have you figured something out to decrees it?
Scott

What's the car going to be used for when road worthy then? Uphill climbs, trackdays or just a car show off with pride. :)
All of the above lolQuote:

Mainly track days and hill climbs. Or as an ornament in the garage lol
Fabrication work looks immense.
but is the tube a bit over sized? i know roll cage tubeing is like 32mm is this the same stuff? or bigger?
17" wheels on a race car. why? lol
and all that work and its still FWD. shame IMO
................speech less
gotta be by far one of the wildest novas ever built? absolutely phenominal Ste :cool:
The tube is the same size as the roll cage tubing, what size would you recomend?Quote:

There are always plenty of 17" slicks available so makes for cheap tyres.
FWD have been proven to handle, supertourers etc didnt fancy RWD myself.
see replies aboveQuote:

Guin says how many beans to buy it
Are the beans magic? :)
carbon shell hey, now thats not going to be cheap but will look lush :thumb:
simply amazing. if the shell becomes carbon with all the cage and that light green or orange it will probably be one of my favourite cars ever!
cant wait to see this thing finished.
