I like the white rims. Looks tidy.

I wouldn't be mounting harnesses on that rear brace though.

why not on the strutbrace? iirc rally cars use this method.
hi martin hows spuds nova running? you killed it yet? any plans for it?
i gotta wait for wednesday for the new loom to turn up. bugger!

Rally cars have a harness bar welded to the roll cage. That strut brace is held in place with to 13mm(?) nuts on top of the suspension... It's not exactly structal and I wouldn't put a lot of faith in it in a crash.

[Sloth]

fair but i've seen alot of them done like this.... oh well.

[Adam]

Yep, as Ash said.
Look at whats holding basically your life.....
Two 13mm nuts on the top of a damper, mounted with RUBBER bushes.

Rally cars have a proper bar welded to a cage, or across the rear turrets.

[Martin]

Its Great to see the old feature cars live on. I was featured with my Red SR back in Sep 1995 Fast car reg J250 DYJ, I would love to know where he is now.

See the wheels from the 1st magazine scan - Are those Mistrals with different centre caps or are they the Speedline Mono wheels ?

I seen a set of Mono's forsale in an old Car & Car Conversions magazine and they look awsome

[Panman]

Mistrals, i remember ordering a set from Elite they never came so i fitted tsw hockehiems (version 1) instead.
