    And finnaly electrical steering... It is from Renault Clio 2 in combination with control modul to operate how stiff the steering would be.

  16. I am realy glad that you like the project :D It kind a pops your will up

    Meanwhile i manage to get car bench. It is the only way to fit everything right. Left column was too low, right too far away from B column... But i manage to sort it out.

    At most of my time recently took to design the rear panel. The radiator will be in front of it and i need to manage the air flow out as efficient as it can. So i shortened rear engine doors and make a hole and distance plate for license plate. Crucial part is also the system of airflow tunels in the rear panel... Will photos speak for it selfs...
