Got my RT to where its being stored today! Cool

looks realyl good and very clean underneath. Need to replace the steering rack when i get the money.

Quick question though, the clutch is extreamly heavy to press, very heavy!
The car has been stood a number of weeks. I think its the clutch cable......... would anyone agree?

theres no other way toi route it matey. You'll see when you look at it.

Basically it comes otu the cabin goes to the right (yes the drivers side wheel) then swoops down and under along the subframe then turns all the way back round to the clutch fork.

Because of this is ridiculously long.
