Anybody got a completed/near complete GTS de-dion with pics

I am currently trying to decide on a kit to use as a basis for my Locost. I had pretty much settles for the Stuart Taylor Live axle, but then considered that my 200hp Vauxhall 16v may break the axle a bit easily, and I want to preserve the standard track width (so no Atlas axle which is too heavy anyway) I would like to go de-dion as I feel that this is by far the best system for a car of this type. The only thing worrying me is that I have seen no pictures of a finished GTS-based car yet. Can anybody post some or give me a link to some finished or near finished examples? I am keen to see the fit and finish of the GRP panels etc. I have been told about the quality of the fabrication etc so no worries there!! I have spoken to Darren about the possibility of a "book" track width de-dion setup and he has confirmed that this is ok so I can keep my standard track and get some driveshafts made (not shortened I hasten to add, these break as I have found in the past at the expense of a gearbox!!!!!!)

Hi there,
Pictures have been posted on the website showing traffic red gel finish....1 of over 70 different RAL colours available.
When the items are removed from the moulds i will post pictures of panels in a colour for the more adventurous.
