Looks like more great gear, any clues when the car might be up & running? :cheers:
When the axles arrive, that will enable final assembly of the rear setup. Which will then enable design, fabrication and install of the fuell cell. Then some final work on the exhaust and we should be good to goQuote:

"Toowoomba"?..I lived in Toowoomba (Drayton) in the early 60s, went to Harristown High with Doug Schultz who is well known in Speedway Circles & ran a used car yard "Autoland",..do you know him?Quote:

I don't know of Doug.
Small world indeed.
Ah right, then I reckon Terry would know Doug for sure.Quote:

We are waiting on the 110mm throttle body from Harrop. It was installed initially and then recalled. Issue resolved and now it's on back-order - three weeks.
There are a few diff issues to finalise including the setup for the rear coilovers, and then the final section of the exhaust can be completed from diff to tips. It's a very tight squeeze for the exhaust so some careful design and layout are required.
Then the design, fabrication and install of the fuel tank and we should be good to go.
Gee it has taken a long time Dan
sounds like it's going to be an absolute weapon! :evil:
Sure has Ed. So many things out of our control. It should go pretty hard lolQuote:

The diff housing etc have been sent to be powder-coated. Not back yet. Then re-assembled/installed
Then the last section of the exhaust system can be completed from in front of the diff to the rear.
Flex-fuel system calibrated.
And then we should be able to turn the key...............
