I'm still working on the car.

Have loads of parts, no time to install them and I'm consistently missing some doodad or other to wrap up anything in particular.

Hope everyone is well.

No rallyx track at my place. Little dirt bikes up at pops (pic of my 5 year old). I even managed to tip a side x side over up there.

Im in the garage right now, will call in a few. Pulled the front suspension off to clean and re-spring (going substantially softer) and i noticed the chrome is failing. Rears are fine just the fronts. See pics below

The bolt on steering arms were JVL's masterpiece. The idea was to have one spare front housing and just swap steering arm as needed.

That's exactly what it is. Had to see if I could make it work. Trying to find a straight piece of something around here to replace it. Who knows the knurled knob might grow on me winking smiley
