I reckon the front one works especially as the front of the car is tighter now!!

The excellent idea Adam to put the rear extension.
I that that have not guessed such thing to invent. The front extension under a cowl put from other machine only holes new drill and on length it adjusted was. Turning movements are very good for passing the beginnings.
But one problem if at such extension beat in in front sideways that on warps all body. Therefore I have removed it.
And here yours on back I shall put necessarily.

:arrow: But to feel all of charm of steering of the car with such extensions of ruggedness, it is necessary to put gas rigid absorbers. In front to cut off one coil of a spring and behind to enclose the prorate to a spring. That the machine to press to the ground.

Yeh i have a 1.4. The car is a 340 not a 360 but apart from the engine 90% of the car is GLT spec as i used a doner 360 GLT to build it.
The back one i cant really tell as much with all the crap in the boot so i will let you know.
Yeh Mick it is and it may be finished for the meet, we shall see!!!
