This ones for Alan. I have a feeling though he's already seen it

No David, I've not seen that one! The rear end looks a little bit light for every day use to me. It is very similar to Z cars adjustment on the rear beam! I'm working on a similar idea for the front suspension on an A-series subframe. I've acquired a k-series subframe and I am hoping to get a couple more next week, in order to mix and match components! But as per usual everybody's else's jobs are more important than mine! I did get some garage time yesterday as Johnnyfixit and I are working on a little Midas project together. We also managed to fit a new steering rack to the Pimlico, ( thanks for your help Johnny) so I'm hoping to be rid of that car out of my workshop soon!

Keep the pictures coming.

It was a pleasure Alan pity the hamsters at N-power went on strike for a while other wise it was subframe cutting all the way let me know when you are tinkering again and I'll give you a hand

Oh go on then Alan,

Heres some more:

The last pictures are of my friend Ralph's V8 Metro, which is now up and running. He is now building a more powerful engine a 3.9 EFI or something like that!

Alan

Yes its a nice build that metro. Rear engine.

Some interesting ideas there. I like the subframe mounts.....which has given me an idea at the front.

or the whole hog and go for the mid engined V6 lump

even the cable ties are in line

Dribble.......

I got into rallying just as Group B cars were running out of homologation, the 6R4 is one of those enduring memories together with the Manta 400.

I love suspension stuff like the gear above, I wish I had the room, bending gear and the confidence to have a go myself.

same engine as was used in the jaguar xj220...which was fastest production car in world for a short while.
