    Italian Rat Update

    Since a '73 S arrived at the house, my buddy Pete and I had to appease my wife and make it look like progress was being made on the '69 T (aka the Italian Rat). So new sway away spring plates, a torsion bar upgrade to 21mm in front and 28mm in back, and new rear rotors and calibers made it road worthy again. In addition, a 22 mm sway bar was added to the front. It may not look pretty, but what an improvement in handling. The car also sports a custom roll bar. It has been decided that this car is going to take a purpose built direction with cosmetics coming last.
    As usual, thanks to Phil and Bruce at Klub Sport for helping us gather the right parts and guiding us in the right direction.
