keep on hammering along Aaron, you da man bro :-)
Just read through this again. Awesome work mate👍 Hope you get it done for warwick. If you use Becs motor will you bolt the extra turbo or leave it single???
I think the 'freak' thing implies to his abilities and the fact that most people would take a hell of alot longer to build a car of this calibre. I've never seen anything like this come together so quickly!

great stuff Aaron. I've done a bit more on my car to iron out some "limp mode" issues so I am looking forward to running with you at Warwick. Keep it going, I'm sure you will get it done in time.

Well i was sick over the last 2 weeks type 'A' flue and bronchitis, and only managed 1hr in that period.
But i got stuck into it yesterday adding the steering column, welded both side intrusion, taxi bar, and 4 more in the rear. Still lots more to come.
Also swapped some more old parts for this XTR 65mm wastgate.
rear bars
collapsible steering from subaru and vw
Machined a boss to weld in the cage for the knuckles to pivot.

Too good to put a body on it....nice work mate
Very cool (and safe) cage Aaron 👍
a great build. love the info.👍
Thanks guys!!!
I made a front mount for the auto box, mounted the shifter cable to the box and temporary positioned the shifter (need to mount the shifter on more of an angle) and made a rear mount for the engine, extending the rear stays to support the weight.
And started on the exhaust manifold. Made from steam pipe so no future cracks from the 1045' rotary exhaust temps.
Now I'll add the external wastgate pipes and start on the twin exhaust, in to one 4.5" , and 2.5" wast gate exhaust.
