Most of those who know me are aware that when I'm not being a crazy linux geek, I'm off being a sterotypical car geek.

It'll feel better when we actually get it out climbing a few hills :)

At this stage its pretty stock mechanically, although with a bigger Weber carb, extractors etc. The plan is to fuel inject it but short term its just to get it on the road.
Brakes and suspension have been redesigned from the ground up. Front brakes are combination BMW / Volvo, rear brakes off an escort. Also included a hydraulic handbrake and front/rear bias adjuster.
Suspension is custom with coil overs on the front with full camber/caster/height/rebound adjustment. Rear is changed to single leaf springs.
Also the lights haven't gone on yet (Although the bar is there) but we've got a pair of oscars and a pair of super oscars that will both be going on the front :)
