I like the Blue chassis when do you want to look at my 110.

re lack of Power steering I do like it on the motorway as it takes a bit of effort to change direction unlike most power steered vehicles.

You will go to hell for that!

If you look behind the photo of the rolling chassis.... you will see another in the sort of trim that ought to please even you.... rough as a badger's arse....

Thats much better!

I notice u dropped the new engine down a load, must have had a positive effect on the prop alignment and also i suppose the side slope angle?

JE motors are amazing - did TVRs engine for them once upon a time. Team Saluki use one of their engines now and they do REALLY well - tiny private outfit with an old 110 beating works Mitsubishis and BMWs etc driven by the likes of McCrae - love it!!!

Is that epoxy paint you used on the chassis???

That's an illusion.. engine height was standard. .... but with RangeRover bellhousing the gearbox was mounted some way further back which improved the front prop angle and the 30" stretch improved the rear prop angle.....
