Going to get my SMR B4 ready to rock for the last meeting at maritime as this was where it had its debut, will try and drag the designer/builder Scott out of retirement with his car

Polished up the other driveshaft, got luckily on the Trinity alloy rear hubs, bargain at £8.00!

Also found some white RPM ball cups for the build, going retro on this car
