I've been amassing all of the important bits including lighter rear uprights and should be back on the project in 2 months or so. I need to finish the trailer first so that I can store the road going Elan in it to make space. Having the components is one thing - having the space for me is quite another.
I'm going to end up fabricating some new wishbones and am currently researiching anti squat/dive geometry to see whether I should do this at the same time. The new wishbones also need to allow me to drop the ride height a little too.
I think the problem is too many ideas and not enough action...
I'll put up some more photos when I have something else to show.
All the best

That sounds a lot like me. Shelves and cupboards full of bits waiting to be fitted. Also lots of ideas getting in the way of actually getting on with the project sounds familiar too
Not sure how modified wishbones will drop ride height. That is controlled by wheel diameter, wishbone mounting points and the angle they are set at, surely? (unless you make them a flat S shape).
Love the removable sections. This is something I will look into if I ever get as far as making the carbon fibre body. I already have the CF sitting in the workshop, so at least it's appeciating in value
Tried sending a PM, but didn't seem to work so:
Hi Gavin
As you are not very far away from Essex, maybe we should get together sometime over a beer to compare notes.
Regards
Steve
