Hi again
The Bonnet on the deon is about 10/15mm longer than the cascu one. I guess this is to get it to fit with the droopy nose section? I've added another one to show size of the wheel arch to...

Hi Ross

Unfortunately I was beaten to it-but looking at it now it appears to be an updated deon chassis. The front wishbones look exact copies of the deon ones on mine. Mine uses fiat 124 on the...

Hi all
