My race project - The Proof
Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:08 pm
I'm the one selling the grand espace (see ads) and I thought I better provide the proof that I really am building a race project - so here it is
Basically its an S3 hardtop with an ally floor and the front and the back sections are 1 piece.
There's a lot of metalwork involved but the cage triangulates the whole set up so it should be very stiff.
2L BDA engine 5 speed ZF box, Sierra diff, dual wishbone etc etc. I'll probably run around 10" and 11" slicks like the previous owner but havent sorted them yet.
I'm just about to start riveting the floor which will be a big step forward from all of the mock up work Ive been doing for the last few months (to check everything fits).
With a big push now, I might just be out next year - here's hoping
