We trial fitted the body and rear wheels to see how it'll look. The back fenders clear the tyres by about 5mm on each side.
I dropped the back 2 splines at this stage, will see if I can go more once the car is assembled. Next thing now is to get my suspension sorted. I want to install 2 select a drops on the front to get the nose down.

Schweet!

Are you going to narrow the front beams to tuck the wheels in?

I just placed the front wheels next to the car to check how they will look. They will fit under the fenders no problem.

That does look awesome!Can I book a test drive so long?

I think it might still take a year or so. Depending on my cash flow.

Have not decided on a colour yet. I still think silver is the way to go. The engine is at volkspares jet park. Currently receiving a wilder cam for the turbo setup. Otherwise it's complete.

Thanks, no problem.
