Finally making some progress again. I have got the other watts turret made and tacked on.
Fitted the axle complete with all links. It fits nicely and moves throughout its full range freely.

Full lean in both directions.

Re: my track sprint project
Finally starting to make some real progress.
4 link tunnels made and tacked in place. At this stage I am unsure weather or not to extend the height of the cross member to help tie the 4 link brackets in better.
Front subframe finished being assembled and attached to the car. I have decided that I will probably fit this pretty much as is to start with and once its on the road build a replacment setup with modifed subframe, tie rods, modern 4pots and a few other bits and pieces.
dropped onto its wheels for the firrst time.
Rolled out side on its maximum ride height setting.
Ride height adjusted and some of the body panels chucked on on for effect.
The 4 link and watts rods appear to be pretty parellel to the ground at the intended ride height as planned.
Right hand side doors fitted and roughly lined up.
Spare seat layed in and pedal box and steering wheel fitted ready to work out what alterations are needed here. I ordered the proper seats last week (Cobra sebring pro's) they should be hear in a couple of weeks as they have to be made to order.
Pushed back in the garage almost looking like a car.

Re: my track sprint project
Thakns for the nice coments, Colin do you still want that servo and mastercylinder.
I got the other doors bolted on today and fitted the arches to that side of the car.
Showing two piece rear arch to facilitate use of the rear door.

Re: my track sprint project
Seen this car in the flesh, the attention to detail is amazing a real credit to Neil and to Steve (Zombeh who has had some small dealings with this car too! ).
