Is important to get these heights right as also sets your roll centre. That has to be worked in with the rear too as you should not have too much difference between them.

Yep, they are out, long story, they will be getting fixed as soon as the car gets on the road though...

Welded up a battery bracket and box section to move the up a bit higher today. Also installed the radiator with 2 x 10 inch thermos. Installed the ratchet shifter. Painted a heap of stuff. Started stuffing around with the new gauges...

Gettin there...

Nice rig mate. Where did you source the brake proportioning valve?
Cheers Phil.

Looks like theres been no expense spared! Wish i had more coin to fund something like this looks sweet mate... Your roll bar looks like it could take the weight of a large truck if dropped on top of the car lol

Roll bar is covered in padding foam and a cover.
