    Excellent progress again but did I see the front lower balljoint sitting on top of the transverse arm? I think it's supposed to be bolted in from underneath so that if anything breaks free the ring in the transverse arm can capture some of the slack before it all goes horribly wrong?

    Congratulations Col in getting your Stratos rebuild "finished"! Loved following the build on your YT Channel. Please keep us up to date with your competition progress mate. Will lift a Safety Beer to your success when the hour is more acceptable in the UK.
    Cheers!

    Great vid. Loved the little tweaks - and the hose cutter - brilliant ! Enjoy the car and please keep us posted on your progress - and hopefully, success with it.

    Thanks guys, We are madly running around trying to get ready for its first rally in 2 weeks, Targa High Country. Not expecting any great results and treating it more as a shake down for Targa Tasmania later this year.

    I'll make sure to post some updates

    Looks like it shifts pretty well
    I am amazed (and very happy) with how well it shifts, super precise good short throw, and gear shifter is in a nice spot.

    Brilliant Colin. Love all the mods plus the lathe hose cutter “magic” best of luck in the rally.
    could you provide more details on you’re gear box stiffening mod and the top mounting bracket that you fabricated for the front damper mount.

    Kind regards Ken.
