Default CAT rebuild

I still have my old CAT, was my first real competition grade car, thought it was about time it got some love and a rebuild/update, would like to do a few meetings at our indoor track just to see how she stands up against the current crop.

Ha ha....fancy seeing you on here Damon Spotted Adrian on here too. Pity you didn't have this ready for the Vintage Nats next weekend but I'm sure there will be more vintage racing soon.

I've been in contact with Adrian, looking at doing some cougar stuff possibly with him.

Yes it is a pity, I have my XX-CR as well.......

Nice!

I think I have settled on doing what I would call a 'hotrod' build for this, keep it looking virtually stock but replacing a lot of the original parts with new reproductions with minor improvements, for instance I am going to cnc up new gearbox alloy plates, also tossing up the idea of substituting the stock plastic gearbox cases with molded carbon versions.
