Thanks for your support guys.

The car spun while in second gear on the entry slip to a dual carrage way. It goes up a hill as the main carrage way is on a flyover. My mistake was I floored it as I was going round the bend as the slip starts so did not get very far up the slip road. The car spun and hit the kerb.

I did this plenty of times while the turbo was not working and felt really confident in the car. Boy was that a big mistake.

Going to get the car up high today so will take some measurements of the chassis to supply Marlin when I order the bits. Did a quick diagonal measurement of the fuel tank top area of the chassis. And corner to corner, of the box section, there was a 8mm difference. But will strip today that area and take some more accurate measurements over the weekend. Will also take some measurements of the rear section.

Just wanted to warn people that the car will bit!

How the car felt.
