Re: GTE valver fast road/track car project
just read this for the first time. Excellent project here mate, loving it. Very similar to what Im doing and also at a very similar stage!! Great looking car from the outside, but the usual rust gremilns to be sorted.
I will add from my own personal experience of running a GTE trackday car, theres a seem running down the inner wing. Its best got to by removing the wheel. It runs to the rear of the hole for the steering arm to come through. Check this for rust - at least get a bit of stitching done here as my old GTE literally got pulled apart. I also noticed some stess on the plate that the rear wishbone mount is welded to, I need to inspect further but I can see some rust in that area coming through the footwells of your car.
All the best for the project mate!
p.s. just noticed every car in that pictrue above appears to be a vaux (dont know whats under the car covers though!!
