If anyone in UK wants to have a look at one of these uprights, I'll be bringing one along to the GTD trackday at Goodwood in August

Rep Power: 24 Mark Worthington will become famous soon enough
My hat's off to the good folks at GT40 Australia for making these fine uprights available to non-GT40-Australia customers. A local builder who got burned in the RF deal is going to scratch-build a chassis and use a C4 Corvette donor car along with various GT40 bits.

Good on ya, mates.

Thanks Mark--- typically a DRB product they are tough! (for Australian conditions)
Pete n' Fran-- I'm thinking Cosworth turbo ,fat tyres,trick shocks and a loud paint job --that should motivate the little sucker. A Lada hrmmph!

Flatchat, I think there must still be some devotees to that old Yank adage "if it won't go, chrome it" :-)

Cheers
