Sorry about if you misunderstanding me, I love it (so the 'funny' want to be positive meaning).
The big block and the short wheelbase is usually not a good combination for the best handling, but probably the rail-structured roll bar (and the slick tyres) will be compensating the weight balance.
I can't wait to see it done!
So about time to update this. Had my mate Michael come in for the day a few weeks back to blast the joints with his welding talents. He's done everything that was easily accessible, leaving the turret tops (which will be tig'd) and any joints that will be easier to get too when the body shell gets lifted off soon. I'll let a few pics do the talking...
It was important to get the above welding done as I'm moving to a new unit for 1st July so it needed to be in a position to come off the jig (or welded axle stands!). So today it saw daylight for the 1st time in 11mths. Hopefully soon it will be rolling on its own 4 wheels...
Hopefully more updates in July
It's fairly coming together now! Some awesome fab work going on!
I never thought this might get completed! But it's looking promising now, hope you can get it done dude, it will be amazing, and definitely a brilliant magazine feature..

Have to be honest here.....when you first started o it, I was very sceptical. But seeing the work going into this, I am eating my words. Fair play, different and refreshing.

They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
Cheers guys!
We'll have to start calling you the back seat driver; are you sure they're not too far back there?
Looking forward to seeing how you attach the front end, is it going to be a full forward tipping one like the blue SR build that was done once upon a time by Austin?
Not alot of choice to be honest as i moved the bulkhead a good way back! Steering column will get put where i want it. Pedals are going to be floor mounted. Gearstick needs modding or extending with a dogleg. At least i'll be able to easily feel the back end stepping out! LolOriginally Posted by BRoadGhost
Not completely decided yet. Probably not an austin style flip is it'll be too low at the front for that.
