    Under the car was unmodified too...no 'obvious' additional bracing etc...

    ...other than a dual exhaust.


    In the back , under the "cover" there was some very light weight , "ugly" angle iron bracing. Unfinished metal,rough f/glass work.


    The general consensus was that this had been built as a "show" rather than "Go" vehicle.

    In order to make this road friendly , IMO , additional bracing/cage work would be required to hold it all together.
    As it stands , road vibration/torque stress/braking forces , would shake it apart/open it up.


    Maybe thats why its only got some 250 miles on it!
