Spit + 347
Minimal information, ugly scoop perhaps hard to avoid, uglier roll bar and odd seats, but otherwise looks pretty well put together

Re: Spit + 347
Pictures don't imply crab track to me. Not sure how one could tell unless it was going down the road. I don't mind the roll bar. Not a fan of scoops, but it's probably needed. Maybe something smoothed back into the hood would be better? But, what's up with the driver'a seat? Passenger isn't bad but driver's looks like it came out of a delivery van?!?!?!

Re: Spit + 347
I love it... A lot of work went into it. Not a fan of the scoop but for what it is, it's a great little car for someone to own. Buy it for a bargain price and fix whatever you don't, still cheaper than starting from scratch...

Re: Spit + 347
Don't mean crooked, 'crab-tracked' meaning front track wider than rear.
Agree it's a lot of value for little money. Ivor |

Re: Spit + 347
Here in the USA, when we say a car is "crabbing", we mean that the rear wheels are not tracking the same as the front. Like acrab running down the beach at an angle. ;)
Lots of racers use wider front track. It helps get rid of under steer, which that Spitfire likely has. |
