I am not a fan of modding cars, but I must say, already this is shaping up to be something really special. It reminds me of some group B Homologation car, or maybe this:

Or an ST165 Celica
Either way, it looks like it came from the 80s still, and gets my thumbs up!

seriously beefier, lots of addition to unsprung weightJay-Kay-Em wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 7:03 pmGood to see the adjustable torque rods for the first time. They are quite beefy in comparison to OE!
shouldn't need to worry, I cracked the screen on the SS1, ex-stock for clear, eight weeks for tinted, I was worried the crack would go straight up as it had cracked four inches in one short drive (heading diagonally across my view) so opted for tintedJay-Kay-Em wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 7:03 pmI need to pull my finger out and order a windscreen because at this rate, there'll be none left!
in the week to arrange an appointment it never went further I wish I'd waited for tinted
PS only 1400 ever built, so I'd reckon OK for 480?

Unfortunately, I am unable to keep on with this project.
New life direction and moving to the south UK. Space, time and freedom come at a premium... Ive not touched this in over 4 years now.
I have the entire thing listed on Facebook 480 UK page if anyone wants to check out some of the photos. A bargain fast track to a nice shell and engine going for a fraction of the price.

Potentially inside the M25 dun dun duuuuu. £12.50 a day to drive it around - Scammy ULEZ
Pushing for Crawley or Lewes (near Brighton) depends. I've got a year really before it all happens.
My 1/480 celebration is going also, it's being sold back to the original owner.
Space and garages at an ultra-premium the more south lol

Re: 480 Limited Evolution
This has saddened me somewhat. Really sorry to hear the project has essentially collapsed.
Project cars are a real ball & chain. Despite all the hours, they are still worthless in the grand scheme of things until they get over the line. Tell me about it.
Best wishes for the move and I sincerely hope someone is found with the vision, skills and finances to get this car where it deserves to be.
