Hello Ladies and Gentlemen .
The time has come !
The frame was built 10 years ago (now all the stress in the welds is gone
) so now is the time to complete things .

Now it stands on its tires but I'm not at all happy with how the suspension turned out .

It's a 442 frame with independent rear suspension from the Haynes book an what I think is a locking sierra diff .
What's done in the background:
A new, industrial strength rear subframe is made (Original Haynes geometry remade for heim joints)
Rear wishbones are made from thicker seamless material, and are zink coated .
A second pair of rear uprights were done
Now we move on to the front where I've already redrawn the wishbones to accept heim joints .
Not extremely happy with the original brackets so I'll rethink those .
Engine is a VAZ 2106 1600 cc 80bhp stock but with bike carbs and good ignition (and possibly a cam) I think I can get 110 out of it .
I have another engine which is a heavy ford lump . n9a 8 valve DOHC .
For that one I have a 16 valve head and a supercharger from an old mercedes 230 (m62) .
ECU is a mega . On the vaz engine it'll manage only ignition .
That's about it for now .
I'll share my progress and ask quite a few questions .
Cheers from BG
