astra vxr track car build from a bare shell



















hope you like this,its still got a way to go yet but we are getting there slowly

[mwstewart]

Very nice project! Given the quality of suspension used, isn't it worth using spherical top mounts and solid subframe bushes?

[wackojacko]

Pure awesome-ness !

[ast20t]

not sure what we are doing yet with the top mounts, bushes are still to be fitted to the subframe at the min,we are just piecing it all together at the moment

[Another Fluffer]

looks very promising

[Defcon5]

Top notch, will be keeping an eye on this!

If that is your garage at home rather than work I will be very jealous

[ast20t]

This is my garage,but not at my house lol,we run an independent Vauxhall garage and body shop in Beds,its not big enough really but we manage with what we have got.
