Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Some progress from yesterday:

I cut out some new holes to get the rust away. The first owner did some horrible smartrepairs!!!
Then i repaired the seatbeltholders and the exhaustholder - cut out rust, welded in new ironsheet and cleaned them. After that the rustconverter will do the rest!

The two seatbelt holders are welded in again. After that i did some undercoat rubbing :hammer

And my part collection goes on :banana - new front axles for the coilover build (the original get sandblasted, get paint and were stored to have good original parts!)
