with some friends, I think I have found a
solution in the form of Orbital
Motorsport’s rear updated ARB which
has inboard facing Rose-jointed drop
links that will clear the stub axle bolts.
Plus this completes the race spec
suspension package underneath
the car.

One step, two step
Small progress is better than no
progress and even with hiccups and

setbacks along the way, if I can stay

positive and proactive the issues can be

overcome and now I can definitely see

light at the end of the tunnel. It’s going to

be so worth all the effort that’s gone into

it all so far. If any of you are struggling

with motivation or are overwhelmed

with the bigger picture on your build try

the bite size approach and hopefully

before you know it we will all be up and

running and back out to play sooner

rather than later.

Mike’s made up a brace to support

the weight of the two turbos...

Pedal box now in place, and

it’s not coming out again...

Custom seat rails made up and welded

in place to mount the new bucket seats.
