Will be recovering the car from it's resting place this weekend so the project begins!

Yes, ital block is a fine idea but not seen one for 10 years down here. Maestro blocks are cheap. lots of them, suitable for RWD and also A+

On a van but the idea is not original then, but practical.

Hi there!
I was just about to post a link to my latest project but I see you have already found it. :D

The front suspension will be Ford based on a Locostesque set up (pics on that thread). I have had great success with this set-up before.

I look forward to seeing your project progress.

Cheers
