Looking good see you went with bakers mounts shoudl be snap happy at the back now   
 
309 running gear is a nice touch, but with the std 8v enigne the 205 rear beam is more fun I recon   
 
1 question, does the cage you have tie in to the rear beam mounting points? as it seems most don't, and I'm tryign to fint if anyone does a strut type brace for them at the back

older engine..... and dave was telling me about oil surge/starvation issues with the engine.... 
 
and with an engine doing most of its work at high revs on corners etc.... that isnt ideal
