My quest to design and build a mid-engined sports racer from scratch. It will comprise of many newly fabricated components along with repurposed parts from other vehicles such as the 2.5 Turbo engine from a Volvo 850 the running gear from Mazda Mx5 and the driveshafts from a sierra xr4x4. The body work is the only thing I have purchased and even that will be extensively modified and a complete front section made from a mould. Wish me luck.

Rear of the car-Some Progress

After what seems like a year I have got back on with things. 
  • My Dad and I braced the table.
  • I finished building the string computer.
  • I decided on the rear lower mount positions.
  • I decided how I'm going to mount the engine.
  • Cut a hole in the table, and lowered the mock up rear frame to ride height.
Good couple of days!  Next build the lower rear suspension links.
