took the van back down the workshop today as it was a nice day also needed to get some measurements as I have a few jobs to do first one being to modify the pedals as they are to long at the moment due to the floor of the car being 4" higher than a standard floor which makes the pedals sit to low plus in a few weeks there will need to be another pedal as in converting it to manual somthing I should have done from the start really
anyway while I was down there I got a few more pics and a little video clip of the car ;D

hi guys sadly the old shell had some issues and i was never overly happy with the weight of it so i built a new one. the new one is lighter and has a fair bit more power to boot along with a whole host of new trick parts . the new shell is slightly less in ya face with the body mods but as a complete package i think it actually works better .
here's how it looks now

this is the base car it was built from :

no not driven it much since the build mainly been to and from my workshop . popped up to the devil torque meet this evening though and i'll be going to the 8 ball on thursday . yes i ran it in it previous guise at the nats had the same engine but with a much lower spec was still running the stock rear axle as well then it lasted up till september then let go in a big way on the way back from santa pod and that was when i pulled it off the road for the build was only going to get a quick tidy till the axle went biggrin
