Viper viento build back on!!!!!
Got the old girl back to a usable workshop full of tools, got to get the parts from the storage unit tomorrow, and clean the car, its very dusty, will
get some photos of the fuel tank, that was the last thing i had made, and never showed it off, so stay tuned.
here is a pic to remind you what it looked like before mothballing.

That looks unreal, i wonldn't worry about body panels, just leave the engine on show like that
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

the wheels are 10j running 295 rubber, so they're getting there!!!!!, can't fit any more under the stock arch, and sitting on the trailer
behind my mates discovery it was wider than the disco, but the ace up my sleeve is that i can lock the diff at the flick of a switch, so giving me
590mm of rubber grip R888's

Please don't stop- I so want to see this car finished. It's going to be mental.
On the other hand, if you get fed up with the build I'll take it off your hand for the full £250

decided i didn't like the front roll bar, the one above where the screen goes, so thats been removed, i didn't want it in the first place,
but the guy doing the chassis work decided to put it in, so its back to looking like a more normal 7 now. will get some photos soon, got the bonnet
today and it doesn't fit, where its been stored its gone flat, this has splade the sides out so now it doesn't fit over engine, its got to
be heated and reshaped to fit, that should be fun!!!!
