Bet that's a bit of a handful, whats the torque steer like?

Any mods to brakes and suspension, must take a bit of stopping with all that poke.

Keep up the good work

Great pictures Marc, the SD1 would be my next choice if I had the space and money. I have a V8 itch that needs scratching and a Vitesse the same colour as your brothers(I think) would do very nicely.

Just looking back at your photos, didn't realise you were so tall, must be over 8ft

Wow, that rear arm looks really strange seeing it back on the car with no spring, a lot neater setup than the Rover job.
Turrets look good, cant wait to see what difference they make with the coil overs, excellent keep it coming.

Mine is a 180 Dave it came with the 16" wheels, this is about 11-12 years ago

Did see you drive past shaun as myself and Dave were walking back up the hill but didnt get chance to meet and see your motor up close. Gaydon maybe? Just as well Stevee, wasn't looking its best after the drive down :roll: Will certainly be Trying for Gaydon, see if we can manage the big 30. Shaun

Just so use to seeing it like that.

Don't worry I've still got them

Just thought i'd put it all back to standard, now where did I put those orange rear lights

I got there about 11ish, not a total loss as hundreds of other people didn't get the message either so there was still plenty of cars to see, and a fair few 800's. Just not sure who the owners were, recognised Mark's mk1 Vitesse and also James mk1, and the two Coupe's parked together. Was a good run...

Only a small update, one of these came up on Ebay http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/slamm17/WP_000498_zpshdxbtujg.jpg Which turned this http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/slamm17/WP_000500_zpskzovwt14.jpg Into this http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/slamm17/WP_000501_zpsltxdl9ny.jpg Also a...

Great work, should have plenty of fun setting it up.

That lower arm looks to have lost quite a bit of weight

Shaun

Welcome James, fingers crossed for some good weather on Saturday.

Should be there in the Vitesse, a bit work in progress though.

Nice one Dave, I'm going to try the dish washer tablets in mine before the test, just have to find it first

Nice one, looking very smart

Got it all back together and running today. It now runs and goes and a T series should. A lovely nearly silent idle land an immense linear shove in the back when you get your foot down. It's going to need a few miles to bed everything in but improvement in drivability is fantastic. Great news Tom, ...

Very nice

Wouldn't look that clean and shiny driving it in the UK at the moment, the weather is just a bit wet.
