Love it, what size are the tyres on that? Do you get any problems with them hitting the rear subby/ radious arms? And are they just black superlights? Looks awsome brown and gold on clubbys is the don like the old touring cars but i do love brown and black *smiley*

The wheels are just 7" x 13" superlights. They don't have much of a dish to them. The tyres are 7.0, 20, 13 slicks. There are no isues hitting the frame or radius arm, just the same as fitting any 13" wheel. All you need is the spacered drums.

Just a couple of photos of how it is progressing. It doesn't look much, but lots of small bits are now fitted or have a bracket made. So getting closer every day.

The car is 'Fast brown'. Hence the name the Brown Streak.

It will be out this season. The season starts next month, but I won't be out until later in the year.

Anyway, nearly there. Windows and a few odds and sods and she is done.

Got a bit more done today. Discovered a cracked valve cap so changed that. Then plumbed up the header tank properly. The bled the clutch. And would you believe it I drove it 2 foot up and down the garage.could do with bleeding the brakes now before I get carried away.
