That best in show must have really hurt after all that effort to make a driver! Great build and dream bug!

| Hahaha, it was a complete surprise to be honest. I truly never built it for that. I will take it to Volksworld next year if they will have me. Cheers |

So, a six inch beam is on order, the tyres unfortunately rub on the wing lips and i dont want to run it at stock height. As it is its actually wider than stock and its already running a four inch beam as it is . Also i machined up a new Judson belt tensioner.

| Fantastic build Lyndon. Car looks amazing. I agree with your fuchs comment, but each to their own I guess. |

Little update. Got the six inch beam fitted and I think it’s improved it no end. Yet to drive it, I need to set the tracking and make sure everything is tight. Fitted a steering damper too so looking forward to going for a test drive.

 Bravo!
That is well deserved recognition for all the work you have put into your car.
