Thought I better update this for Brent again...
Here are a few pics from the NZ GT1 round at Pukekohe on the 14-15 Feb.
Enjoy

Bend the diff housing
the diff is a later model BW housing, tubes welded in at 1 degree angle, custom lower 4 link mounts, custom height adjustable coil over brackets, ford alloy hat, romac 31 spline full spool, strange engineering 31 spline custom axles, new ends on tubes to suit ford 9" bearings, stronger late model 3.23 gears. redline light weight shock oil. custom moly tube panhard, altered and strengthened panhard chassis bracket.

Nice, sounds like a few dollars have been spent there!

Damn. That's a lot work. Any reason why you stuck with the panhard?
the way to go for a watts linkage is to have the pivot assembly on the chassis not the diff, especially on a BW as the alloy hat with the watts pin (ford falcon hat) is very weak and doesnt like the load on the pin... it is quite involved doing this and Id have to move my fuel cell to make it all fit.
on smooth tracks there is pretty much no difference between a well set up panhard and a watts, on the street or bumpy race tracks, the watts is a good thing
I fitted new brakes a few weeks ago
