It seems a shame to put a body on that chassis, that looks brilliant.

I may be completely wrong here but those wishbones bear a passing resemblance to MK3/4/5 cortina parts.
I suppose it could just be due to them being 'wishbone' shaped but would like to know one way or another.

The chassis looks absolutely first class, will be a stunner when finished.

Always nice to know that what's holding your bum off the road, and all the moving parts, is in A1 condition.

You could get your daughters to sort the BBQ out - nothing like teaching them while they are still young...

Looks excellent, top job. Those coil overs look mighty tempting, wish they were about when I replaced all mine.
