Finally got this thing out around a good track to stretch it's legs a bit. Everything worked with it running a little warm being the only issue. Here's some pics, I took the bumper off to get more air ok in around it

So this happened last month my mate was driving at the time someone just drove straight across the track in front of him after spinning off. O well lol it's on the mend again now

Chassis legs were both bent so needed jigged.

It'll live to fight another day

Got this straightened panelled and painted over the winter. Turned out great considering the damage it had

Aww right.. good job lad.. I like the build.. hopefully iv got my omega b204 running in next 2 weeks.. it's not to far away now.. what way have you done the brackets for the fan belt ? I can't use the standard tensioner because off the custom intake.. I don't know what way to go about it

I'm still using the standard tensioner but my spare engine has a bracket made so you can adjust the alternator to tighten the belt. Whoever done it was rash but it could working done right.
