Hi Colin,

That's some beast you got there.The engine is certainly well back from the front axle !!
Would be interested to see how the back is configured. Who did the job? Has it been campaigned before ?

dunno who started building it but i dont think it was ever used as it was never completly finished with the space frame ect
