    Rear Section

    Well, the story continues with the rear of the car. After cutting the car in half (behind the rear firewall), I commissioned John Botha from GT40 Developments to build a rear frame and suspension for my car. I must say he did an excellent job and the frame which fitted perfectly. The fully adjustable rose joint, dual wishbone setup came with uprights, hubs, disks, brake calipers and anti roll bar. Everything is completed with the outmost precision and accuracy and is fully adjustable. The rear fiberglass section, boot lid, rear lights and engine cover are already mounted to the chassis. The rear lights I found out, are original Alfa Alfetta light clusters coincidentally used by Lamborghini SPA in the Countach! Sourcing a second hand spare was relatively easy from a secondhand Alfa dealer. Total cost of lights was R450… about USD50!! The stainless steel tanks built by Silverton Radiators are also in and the next step is to install two brand new custom aluminum radiators, which were completed this week by MRP Motorsport in Vereeniging. At this stage I am still struggling to find a workshop which can manufacture me an adapter plate for the BMW M60 motor to the Audi gearbox…. Anyone with contacts? Till the next update Cheers Damian
