As you can see from the last couple of photos it didn't all go according to plan it looks like the snap ring wasn't locked in properly. Up until then I was very please with how it was alll going.
Will be heading back out for another test day in a few weeks.
The CAR was easy to drive didn't feel as big as it is, turned in and was easy to control in a slide. Suspension was working very well no where near as rough as the old Nissan. Apart from the lack of brakes I was very confident with the cars capabilities motor pulled hard, tranny was working well. It only bogged down a little in the sand even with a 4.11:1 final drive and 33" tyres.
I won't be able to get it sorted in time for Dondingalong but should be OK for Crookwell.
