Personally what they don't know they cannot do you for, unless you have an problem. Officially club wise and ACE wise, be aware and act accordingly .... simple as..

Change of plan with this car now,after having thought it through i just dont want to go through the hassle and expense of putting all this together. Will just be building it back up with ohv stuff,providing i can get the stuff together!

I will be converting my 1159 to a 1800 in the winter. got all this to look forward to. going to modify the front cross member to suit unless i can pick up a front member to fit cheap enough. The car will be havinga lot of work carried out at the same time so most things needing doing will be done and converted anyway.
