Nice! looks like you doing a great job.
Can you tell me a bit more about the rose joints? where you had it done and how simple? feel of the car? what other mods were needed to make it work?
From fastest to slowest:
Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy
