As you may have seen my Mini build, this is project no2. I decided since the Mini is a long term build, I would need a little something to get me back out competing. So I decided to build a budget road rally/Targa car.
I bought a cosmetically and mechanically challenges Citroen C2 VTS. It had a few issues which were rectified and the build soon got underway. All the work was carried out during the summer when we were locked down here in Wales so here’s some pics of the build so far.
Quick run down of the spec is. Its got a 4-1 manifold which has been de-catted ABS/TC has been disconnected, All road rally wiring has been done, spots, fan, interior light etc..., It has some fat KONI orange shocks paired with diesel springs for extra ground clearance for the whites and tracks, bucket seats, 5 point harnesess, 6 point bolt in cage.
Still to do, new brakes and fluid, sump guard and underbody protection, perspex front windows and some chunky tyres.
For now its been put away as there are no signs of any events happening soon due to the current covid restrictions we find ourselves with but as soon as there is a sign that things are moving then it'll come back out of storage to be finished properly.
