Am I been thick asking what an ss is??

Iv changed my plans slightly now.
The engines are going to be turbo charged. Iv got a pair of garret T35 turbos now which will run 8 psi each motor.
Should manage 275-300bhp each motor with this setup. It should be pretty quick once complete.
Completion date is French car show at rockingham raceway June 5th.

Insane!!
A project not to be rushed no matter how impatient u get wanting to get it up and running.

Big repect for doing it! Might be worth a trip to the french car show just to see your car.

30 liter tank .... you definitely aren't intending this for anything long distance ....

But huge credit, to those who ask why. The question is more like "why not?".

The rear diff is now welded up (cheap and very effective way of locking the diff)





1st coat of paint on the floor

Is that floor brushpainted!???? Or just looks patchy because of the residue underneath! !

I am loving the fuel tank cap! Have you got a useless jerry can now!?? wink


This is such a great project and with such a story behind it too. Applaud you, fella!

600bhp, a wheelbase of what looks like about 2 foot 6" and a permanantly locked rear diff! Should be interesting to drive. eek
