Two subframes came up around half the cost of the original so I snapped them up. Did you get these from the South Coast?, I saw them on FB, just couldn't afford it, but absolute bargain , lucky boy. Apparently an excellent upgrade. Mk1R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently an excellent upgrade. I did indeed, I saw them up for sale about 3 months ago, and thought nice but still expensive. I proposed a cheeky offer to the chap a couple of weeks ago and he accepted, so all in all pretty happy with the purchase. one 12hr road trip later I had them. I hope they perform as good as they look. I’ve ordered a couple of extra verkline goodies to complement the subframes. Arryjmc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk1R Posted January 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi Everyone, just a small update this week as I was waiting on parts to arrive. To complement the Tubular subframe I ordered the tubular wishbones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk1R Posted January 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 These wishbones are really well made and are fully adjustable for camber and caster. The tubular subframe also allows the wishbone to be relocated within the subframe to improve suspension kinematics AJP and Arryjmc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I’m new to this forum and only just been picked up this thread. This is going to be such a cracking build. Do you intend to keep it or drive it a bit and sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHG Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I’d expect that after a 3-year projecthe will keep it until the end of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
