Default suspension

Hi all

Your right in saying it looks like deon suspension. That's because it was!! They took a deon and updated the hub carriers to get five bolt wheels. Gordon had done some work/loaned workshop space, not sure which, to deon who hadn't or wouldn't pay.They held a complete chassis with suspension hostage so to speak!! After the demise of deon cr was born hence the similarities.
There was a lot of talk in the Italian Exotica magazine about how there had literally removed the centre tunnel and high outer cill sections from the deon chassis that must of affected the chassis overall rigidity . They even contacted most deon / JHclassic's owner to offer this service to, as they put it, make your replica more original!!
