Looks mean... I'd like to change my diff setup to something like this one day.
How have you braced the top of the coil overs inside the boot? And what struts are they?

No bracing on the top of the struts. Quite often they attach the roll cage to the strut towers and Mine join at the bottom of the struts. Struts are bilsteins.

Looks like some nice work going on there. I'd be keen to see what reinforcement has gone into the top of the turrets/strut towers also.
Looks like she'll be a runner in no time! And a real track weapon too. Will be a while before I can keep up with a setup like that, thats for sure! ;D

Hahah, yeah... me too!
I thought there would be a lot of stress on a small area where the shocks mount in... especially as there are no springs to soften the blow.
Are the Bilsteins made for any particular car, or are they custom?

Yeah that's right....Tony and I were seriously scratching our heads as to why anyone would cut out the chassis rails to do the 4 links?! Oh well, Tony is making new box sections to fix. At the moment I'm purely waiting on Tony and he's off for targa rotorua this weekend so hopefully over the next few weeks it'll be done. We're planning on heading to puke for an open day to set it up properly so we'll let you know.

For sure. In fact I was telling Tony today I'd be heading along to the next oldshcool meet and he confirmed he'd be keen to take the Chevette along for a fang. Ought to add a new flavour to have a few race cars there.
