Chassis mods by Colin the wizard

Tues.25.04.06. I have returned from my French visit but before dashing up to Westmead I had spent the morning busily catching up with the accumulated paperwork of the past three weeks. It was 1.30 before I could ultimately witness all of the wonderful work that had been achieved on the Burlington. Chris, proudly, showed me around the car. He had certainly not exaggerated the quality of Colin’s work. 

The original rear outriggers carved away by Richard, have now been fashioned perfectly to become the angled front members. The front bumper bar has been designed to also the incorporate wing supports, radiator mountings and retro front outriders. When the radiator is in place the flow of air channelled through the engine compartment will disperse evenly aiding the stability and improving the road holding virtues of the car. The rear chassis of the car has been totally transformed. 

On Haydn Davies formative design, the rear quarter in addition to the boot space had not been attached to the car. Over the years, this had caused the body tub to twist, as the only two fasteners to the rear spring turret had worked loose. The high position of the fuel tank meant that even the weight of less than a part full tank of petrol, continuously swishing from one side to the other, had also contributed to the tub becoming warped. The force had shifted the rear quarter over to the left by several centimetres creating the permanent disfigurement of the body tub to the chassis.
