Cheers everyone.

Should have the car back a week today, Nortech were tacking the rear cage up and had to wait till today to contact Hockly to confirm a few tube lengths as it was not all going in as it should have done.

Rick glad the linkage is spot on. Wish in some ways i had kept it as i can see this quaife one been a right slag.

Anyhow todays work involved lots and lots of cutting and grinding:

Looking good Mr Draper! But I will prove you wrong... Mine will be on track before yours...

I take it your fitting the LEDA rear Coilovers? Will those Turrets move the Coilover body inboard im guessing giving more room to the inside of the rim/tyre.
