    If you do ever convert to 6 point make sure you run the bars behind the dash because running them in front of the dash becomes intrusive and looks cheap and nasty ..and really takes the street car cred away from it all

    Saw this thing while Ryan was doing the cage on Friday, nice and clean and dead set sleeper.

    Nice work on the times and setup. Would be good to see this thing into the 9's

    Good luck with it.

    Cheers

    Hey Martin

    If you are around the Girraween area one day drop past, i would love to have a look and to see what Russo kit is like! i am building something very similar less turbo so far for my offroad racer. Also could show you the parts i want to put in your sleeper.
