why not use a 309 rear beam? slightly wider for better handling

Looking good see you went with bakers mounts shoudl be snap happy at the back now

309 running gear is a nice touch, but with the std 8v enigne the 205 rear beam is more fun I recon

1 question, does the cage you have tie in to the rear beam mounting points? as it seems most don't, and I'm tryign to fint if anyone does a strut type brace for them at the back
