thanks for the coments, i want to had a secure, reliable and "fast" rally car, but also a drift car changing coil springs and doing some adjustments.
the garage is not only mine, another 2 friends use it to park their scrap jajaajja i,m the only one who use "the place" to repair and prepare cars, i would like to continue with this and finally become my job, but today is dificult to start any workshop and less about rally/race cars.

some more updates, i finished the bottom end work, crank and flywheel lightened and balanced with pulleys... everything, rods+pistons reduced weight and counterweithed them.
the dash was presented on its final position with the steering wheel and pedal box, i need to replace these two things, to the final driving position, and also decided the rear suspension and finished the rear cage reinforcments.
thats all for the moment, i go slow but i haven,t got time for more.

These Europeans are getting too far ahead of us in terms of impressive builds. Where's Adam when you need him? Time for one of us to step up our game :D
