JR posted this car ages ago, a long thread of a full rebuild.

speedholes


lack of inner wings






finished




Went out in it one day (closed road, staged event), clipped an apex, and it ended up like this

He built it for a final year college project btw, spent loads of money on it.

And yeah Gav, the cage probably saved his lofe tbh

He's got another one now, LHD one in black, which will be better, as the weight distribution is better with the driver on the left

I heard other wise, about being a staged event!

But a shame what ever the case.

I bet he was at least a bit chuffed though that he'd only rolled a golf and not something decent like a Mini or an Escort etc.
