Can you not express your opinion without resorting to insulting words? BARGE? Really?
Yes it is going to be heavier than many other Haynes builds but as I said I'm building it for a quick road car not a circuit racer or hillclimber/sprinter. Having said it will be heavier it will still only be 750KGs ish, with C225BHP and a likely torque output of 200 ft/lbs plus it will still outpace most hot hatches and with pretty equally balanced weight distribution fornt to rear it should handle OK!
The steel may look pitted but as it is 3.2mm wall thickness there is no serious loss of strength, in fact it will almost certainly have more torsional rigidity than the standard book spec car.
I'm mistaken am I? TTW pal, TTW!
