clock tower with a sniper rifle

Fancy a speedster á la gavin and wonder where do you place the cuts on a mini shell? Have done some reading, and think i have figuried out:

Place shell on axle stands, take out everything loose, measure widest point centre line, cut8-)

the rear end is slooping must be a bitch to align? Looking for 3-3,5" (found that figure on the net)


this will not happen tomorrow but it´s always good to have a plan
*happy*

Thanks
Marcus

Great read that. Thanks for posting it.

But the man to speak to about that sort of thing, Is Paul Wig. He did alot of the bodywork on Gav's car I believe.

I cant take credit for it. Gav did it himself - I guided in a few areas and straightened some distortion from welding but its his work.

I seriously doubt it!

How is Gavin getting on with the rebuild? it would be great to see this car out in action again, it totally dominated Combe two years back.

Didn't it have the fastest lap times of the say? And the suspension was still set up for the strip, not the track.
