That is just out standing and as said you dont just get up one morning and be able to do all that !

Yep, would love to know his background, some of the small engineering details, and order of which the build is being carried out is down to hands on experience, Ive not read the thread all the way through, only skimmed it, but he seems to have access to plenty of kit, MIG and TIG, and mandrel bending kit for forming the rollcage, not something that you can lay your hands on easily, chromoly
tubing is incredibly expensive, so has to be formed correct first time, everything said though, still an impressive build...

I'm not convinced on the suspension geometry and I would use a better engine too, might as well if you are going to all that hassle.
Turbo for a track car? I'd rather have a highly strung N/A or a charger.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.
