Saw this car up at coombe today, very impressive bit of work for how quickly it was done. Quite loud though...

Thanks,the exhaust was made of bits of old pipe
That was lying about!!!
It was only 96db on the sound test(I think
I may not quite of been at 4500rpm).
It is massive over geared at the moment
70mph is about 1700-2000 rpm.
That will be sorted this week as I have a drift
Day this Saturday!!!!

The car looks great! Are they 'Rangerbob' arches from the Retro Rides forum?

It is indeed, but
I have great reservations about removing its front cross member and not replacing it in any way.
We had the same discussion about this for Iandollysprint's Vauxhall engined project.
