It seems the poor old blue car has had a fair few of its GT parts swapped out. Today I confirmed its driveshafts are not the proper 1″ GT shafts. Never fear though, if worse came to worse the shafts in the red car are the ridgey didge item. But I don’t need to go to that extreme as I had a complete set of suspension arms with hub/brake assemblies and 1″ driveshafts given to me by the previous owner.

This is a blessing in disguise though really (did I just use the “b” word? thats out of character!) as it means I can refurbish these arms, get them nicely sandblasted and powder coated, replace the bushings, the bearings, freshen up the brakes and all ready to slot straight under the blue car after its painted, meaning it wont have to spend any more time without suspension under it than it takes to swap the old for the new. I just hope this suspension is the same pivot point setup as the car needs. (knowing my luck lately it wont be)

And just so it doesnt feel too neglected, here are some photos of the red car.

Previous owner seems to have had a fetish for spotlights…
