:idea:i bought the c5 uprights, hub carriers, upper arms and new lower balljoints, he had the lower arms and is holding them for me (so i can do some research, i.e. you guys)
the whole set up is from a mosler gt car that is being broken, although all the front set up that i have is n.o.s.
my chassis plans look like gtd with front susp mounts parallel to centre line of chassis, should be easy to re ajust chassis to suit.
it's the rear's that bother me!
if i go for c5 rears, then i'll have a usable set up for not much money (seems i can bolt up audi cv's to c5rear stubs, same pcd. then use audi drive shafts that just "fit". its just the weird pcd and offset that puts me off this route)
or granada front uprights and southerngt rear uprights that free's up cheap period wheels, but i know nothing as i'm still learning!!
got my 40x40 delivered today so i need as much input as i can get from you lot before i start welding

i've got the metal for the chassis, hopefully build a platform on one of the jigs at work on sat. i like black and gold but black will show up every imperfection and this is supposed to be cheap and cheerful:shy:. maybe diamond white with diagonal rs200 stripes (i know...but it's my car!!)
similar to my escort
remember, it's no le mans replica!

did some more chassis welding tonight, i've got no time scale to work to yet i feel like i'm falling behind (if that makes sence)!! picked my wheels up saturday 5hr drive so no welding done this week-end. friday is wheels day in aldershot, taking my kooltina and hope to see some gt's, old skool ford meet at box hill on sat and my band has gigs for the next few week-ends so it looks like i'm restricted to evenings after work for a few weeks!
