Keep this under your hat, close to your chest and super hush hush but I have a 15% off sale on chassis'ies'es running on ebay untill wednesday SSSSHHHHH don't tell any body
Also has any body mentioned that a chassis will go on a car roof rack so collection is not as much of a bugger as people think it is.

I drove a westie with a live axle <escort> and although it was ok I thought the unsprung weight of the axle was far to much for the car to the point that it was intrusive. The later ones with the sierra running gear ride much better but thats just me talking about a car for the road, track might be different.
