Hi Les

Sorry I cant make that weekend, I would like to say that I would be flat out on the car but I cant as I will be in Scarborough that weekend at a friends birthday bash (a quick 650mile round trip). I will be at plenty of stuff later in the year and next year. Got to get my van kitted out so I can sleep in it and a trailer made, then the world is my oyster.

Less, looking good man!

Where did you get the wheels from, cannot find these. Have these been discontinued? are they 6 or 7j?

Please send me a PM.

Thanks,

Do you mean the wellers?

They are 8" wide, they are discontinued in this style but are still available from Weller wheels in a motorsport style.

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Les

Looks good mate, how for do the wheels stick out?

What sort of design have you gone with for the rear quarters?

I think they are 5" from the hub mounting face, I re-call seeing ET-24 on the centre face of the wheel but don't have them here to double check.

The rear quarter panels are shown a few pages back

Cheers,
Les

Good job, I had considered going the subframe drop method but decided on the raising the suspension pickup points instead. less work i think to do it your way but it transformed the car. A lot of thought and measurement went into the drop. Do not do this unless you know what you are doing. There are a ton of things to get right.Bump steer, ackerman angles, anti dive, etc. I hope i can get the photo's right.
