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.

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.

Warwick would be good but time will tell!!!
kombi needs a break.
more this weekend.
finished the adapters (550 grames each),machined the rotors, made all the brake lines and subaru master, and welded all shock mounts.
because i only have type 3 front shocks
got some axles from DB
seat bar which also stops the seat belts from sliding sideways
top bar
water into the tube chassis to save extra pipe work
Some rust repaires are getting started by a very good friend Barry Thompson
jum!!!
And started on the exhaust
still have wastgate to finish and turbo oil drain lines x2
