Don't fall of your seats but that appears to me to be progress. Ignore the seam weld that is on so thick it looks like cake mix. Reason for it is that in the lovely state that we live in the law and the transport department don't like the idea of any welding on what they class as structural......apparently a couple of spot welds from factory and panel overlaps with some glue work just fine to eat up all that force that decent suspension dishes out.

Anyways it's hidden now and i have yet to go over it with my mighty sanding arm, it'll look a lot less like the surrounds of a wedding cake and more like how it should once i've finished.




And this is the vehicle i build after intense time spent playing KSP, haven't yet achieved maximum velocity yet and slingshot around to the moon but i'm working on it.

In all seriousness i bought it that way. For the uneducated it's a Mitsubishi RVR Hyper Sports Gear (don't bite your tongue) - Evo 3 running gear underneath, trailing arm rear end that you can't do a single thing with and GAB stop making adjustable shocks for them back in the 1960's. Other than that it drove 3 of us down to World Time Attack 2012 in comfort and the way back but isn't designed to take 300kg of dude's 1000km to a racetrack so next year everyone can fuck off and i'll drive the silvia cause it'll be finished (i promise).
