Rob Navin Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Well, thats it. After many hours swearing at the car, mine is now ready for the coming season Its having its full geometry set up tommorow and the big weigh in so watch this space. Many thanks to Paul at Palyscool for not setting fire to it and finishing all the bits I could not do and to Johny at Stanwood for all his help. I will be shaking the beast down at Curborough on tuesday at a test day. If any one is intrested I have a couple of places left not filled so if you are ready for a test give me a shout. Waiting for Croft now............bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
