nice car man,hope you can finish it soon...

looking good, i built mine from the book too, got mine legal a year ago,

The only thing i wished i had the bodywork when i made the chassis as the round tube could have done with moving a bit wider to suit the bodywork

It,s best used as a door stop!

how does the avon handle?does the steering has self centring build in?


prelude1980 - 1/1/09 at 07:56 PM

i think it handles very well, although i have never driven any other 7's

Self centering is built in but i have modified my set-up a bit with camber adjusters and rose joints

Looks good mate, nice to see there are still people building Avons!
What are the uprights youre using, they look trick

They fronts are the RMD ones from rally design, cost a bloody fortune with the ally hubs and wilwoods but look nice though and the rear ones i made myself.
