Sure did

Yes, i will made it removable, with a new U shaped drilled aluminiun, bolted to the side. Too much times i wished about it working on engines !
I have my new turbo engine i build this winter to put in and test...

Hi Cineman. Have the notches in the frame been caused by the new LCA support?

[cineman]

Yes. I drive like an animal ... and just after a week the frame was like that. When you brake VERY hard ( i have performance brakes) the arms can still flex enoght to let the side touch the plates, when the suspension is compressed. I spoke about this with Ed...
On a friend car, knowing about it, we installed the reinf.arms more spaced with some custom spacers.

Can't believe it is a week since my last update. Was in England for 4 days but back to it. Time is really flying by with only 7 weeks left!!!!!!!!

My chassis should be ready any day now. In the mean time I pressed in my polybushes, cleaned up my rear hub carriers, cleaned and painted my exhaust manifolds, cleaned and painted my sway bar and worked on a bit of engine detailing. Here are the photos.

I got my frame back a pair of day ago.

This evening a painted it with the primer... you can still reach me!

...I think i should start my own topic

Mine should be returned powdercoated and galvanised. Hopefully they will ring in next day or 2.

Still waiting for parts to arrive though and chassis may take longer but hopefully not.
