Looking good, it's motivating me to crack on with mine and get it on the road... It's been mothballed for about 5 years now

Cheers, she's had a fair bit done..
Is that a 33 rear axle under there? Have you gone out board front brakes and using the 33 axle / brakes / handbrake?

Yes it's got a 33 rear end. The front is still standard. I preferred the hand brake on the back. It was a lot more fun in weather like what we are having at the moment.

Nicely done.
It was the only way you could get to it.
Top marks.

And all done from the top so no weld burns! That's always a bonus.

Looking at the photo, you wouldn't think the sud and 33 were basically the same car underneath?

No you wouldn't. The sud looks tiny.

I used to rally a Sud. I've rallied a 33 since 1994. Didn't think there was as much difference as the pic shows. Wife has got a 147 and that makes the Sud
look like a pedal car!

The sud is a little further back so looks smaller. It's looking way high compared to the 33 though. The 33 is lowered a lot but I wouldn't have thought that much.
