Very nice.....

I have one concern though. Do you put this one a frame alignment jig? How do you know that those tubes/braces will make the car straight?

The tubes were welded in before the shell was cut away, so the geometry will not have been altered.

Yeah I'd be a little worried about the body flexing also, being a uni-body car. Good luck with it

I guess the tracks in the UK have different rules regarding

roll bar specs then the usa?



does that from bar go thru the firewall or does it just end right there?

how will you be mounting the fenders and the front bumper?



I would cut the strut towers off and then you could have went

with any racing coil over on the market.

What is the car going to be used for other than a "demo car" ?

For our UK trackdays there are not any regulations other than the driver must have a valid license, good crash helmet and a car that is not going to fall to bits when going around the track.
