    That looks like a thorough refresh indeed. Where is it?

    It would be great if they photographed each stage of the rebuild and posted it online somewhere, a bit like the firm who race prepare Ferrari 308's and was posted on the old forum, their website was amazing.

    I can see a WRC 'Mini' in the background Mick.

    Spot the mods on the Stratos tub:
    Roll cage and door bars.
    Tubular ross brace in the back.
    Battery box/tray?, up front.
    Swaged holes in the front box section/spare wheel support.
    'Looks like there's been a piece cut out and welded back in, on the vertical face at the back of where the spare wheel would sit.

    Yes Chris, I noticed some of those points including the 'Mini' in the background.
    I thought BTR Preparations in Castleford did all the VK work but not sure if this is their place or not.

    Would be great to get some detailed shots inside and out great to have on our site for ref and attracting enthusiasts . As Vince said shots of the build would be great too.
    Maybe the club could approach Steve to allow us to take some shots . I would take a day off to go and photograph the chassis

    Of course we have to appreciate that according to an 'expert' on the old forum, this car isn't a Stratos at all.
    We obviously have a lot to learn yet.

    Bulkhead welding looks really untidy.
