Thumbs up Pics of Grants T3 inside

Grants T3 has hit the road. He hasn't any power figures yet but it is safe to say this car will be circuit weapon once completely sorted and the 6 speed is fitted. :

I think so because the rear right wheel is just touch the inner guard which will be simple to modify but Grant maybe able to answer this question.

The offset on the rears is 4.5cm on the 9.5' BBS rims, but I'm not to sure what the offset on the original rims is as a comparison. I'll get the tape measure out tonight and post back.

Thumbs up

Looks fantastic Grant, but what do you expect!
Low,black and finally a Manual and to top it off an AU!
Dosen't get any better than that.Can't wait to see and hear it in the flesh.
You're lucky Don didn't take it for a spin around the compound with leaving the keys in the ignition. Could be too tempting! lol

Hi mate,

Project, parts, etc was put together with the Romano's, with the engine build done by Bryants Engineering to specs.

Got a few more photos and will get them up in the next couple of days.
