Hi Chris,

As you and Murray said, you have an early chassis there. The KVA moved on to the "C" type chassis which more closely replicated the original type.
As far as I understand, quite a few early chassis owners had their rear chassis changed, and I THINK, this became a speciality of GTD before they started building their own chassis (please someone correct me if I'm wrong here)
The (rather convoluted) reason why I am mentioning it, is that IF you did decide to update the rear end suspension to the GTD setup, I have a GTD rear chassis section sitting in my garden here doing nothing. You are more than welcome to it as it's only going to the dump otherwise!

ps, looks like you've got a damn good start to a car there!

pps, so, do we now know the heritage of the GTS tuning car?
