Thanks for the offer Hugo, but I'm owed these parts, I'm just waiting and waiting for them. He'll get it squared away eventually, but we all die someday and I'm not sure which will come first!

Not much progress lately. Been very busy and its hot, so I've not been to motivated. Have worked out a removable rear strut mount design, so as soon as I get off my a$$ things should start rolling again. The strut mounts will become part of the car, while the superstructure can be removed after being unbolted from the strut mounts.
I went to pickandpull and got a Jetta steering rack. It will have to be locked so it doesn't turn at all and I'll use that in the back for now till I fab up something lighter. Jason

Last night the car finally hit the floor. It's been on jackstands for 3 years now, so it was quite a momentous occasion. Here is the rear end on the ground:
  I should mention, at this point in time the rear end still has the ability to steer! So it makes this thing easy to move around the garage  Obviously this is temporary. The C-clamps should do just fine for moving it around, but I put the zip ties on just as a safety precaution.

 Here's my Boo Boo. I had a preview of this over a year ago, but I was beyond the point of no return, so I had to keep it going. The wheel is set back slightly, I'm guessing about 15mm. A longer wheelbase will be better for high speed stability anyway, right?! If I get too upset about it, I'll reshape the front inside edge of the fender to make the gap look better.  This one is a little fuzzy, sorry. Better pics to come.
