Had to take photo's of photo's again with that shitty camera, 'cause I haven't got my scanner back yet, but here's some from Walters Arena:

Here we go, 3 weekends to get it back together and it currently looks like this:





Hmm, little bit of work left then?

And just for even more fun, rumour has it that Matt Lee's new 2wd buggy is powered by a turbo hyabusa and is a single seater with carbon bodywork, so that should be 30-40bhp up on us and a good 100-150kilos lighter.
Didn't want to win anyway

Nearly there!

Got her back together this weekend, just waiting for the paint to dry on some new wheels we've made so we can fit the new tyres:

We've gone very slightly wider:

HOLY FECK!!!

That's quick!!!

It's quicker when the tyres aren't spinning quite so much!

Still, new tyres arrive tommorow

Old tyres:



And the new ones have slightly more tread...



Which'll be gracing the new 2" wider wheels

They look like the tyres i've seen for my Dodge WC62, but i'm after 7 9.00x16's.

WE've altered the gearlinkage and only just rebuilt the 'box if you're wondering why it takes so long to change up to 3rd, takes some getting used to!
