A friend of mine has got a new project on the go. I'll let the pics do the talking (camera phone so sorry for **** res!), basically he's taken a vw caddy and put in a C1J engine along with a lot of other fabrication including rear shock set-up rather than leaf springs. I thought i'd put up some pics of the work that has been done over the past week or so, enjoy!

still a lot more work to do. Most of the fabrication has been done so that original renault parts can still be used such as engine mounts. Should have some better pics soon, we need to decide a colour scheme too, we was thinking top half black with the bottom half in a kawasaki green colour. Cheers.

Ha yeah, have'nt got an updated pic of that, the servo has been moved over allowing the turbo to be taken off and put on with ease!

has the rear beam been welded up so that it can't roll?

That looks like a tall damper built into a turret :smokin:

How do you mean? sorry!

it looks to be welded square, meaning the body won't be able to roll. normally the links are tied with rose joints like this:
