The mess we had to make to fit the replacement tower !!
We also had a spare strengthening plate so we did in the boot floor as well
All very ugly and disappointing but very strong !!
Still not happy with the panhard rod looks a bit of a mess but it was a nightmare,only a pair of clowns could put the wrong tower on lol!
We have put gussets on the tower as well but haven't got those pics yet
Next up the tank platform
I then had the brainwave that cos I had round turrets I may as well go for a turret mounted cage and let son have my sd bolt in 6 point in for his car.
More work more pain fitting and re fitting new sd 14 point cage and welding mounts in all coming up next. It's very cold out there !!.

Turret infils and prep for fire wall
Ignore the cage mounts we welded those in then realised we had no 3mm plate under them !!. Also they looked rubbish because we couldn't get to them with windows in , I'll show the re done mounts in a bit .
More with correct plates in
Multi point shell mounts next

We haven't got round to the other mounts yet but it's marked up for them. Would it be stronger to tag the cage to the screen pillars as well I think your allowed to in the non fia historic class ?
Headlining removed now as I don't think ill ever road rally it.
Change of tack now as back to front end
Bit of seam welding

Only taken over a year
Lol thanks mate , loving your incar utube vids , think I may try some of those events. Thanks for looking do say if any thing looks wrong ?.
Looking good you seem to be getting through the work well
Hexham and District Motorclub
Thanks . Would love it to be running for February but the cold is here now it takes a massive effort to get out there. Some of its tricky when you only have a 4 inch grinder, a drill and welder lol.
Car looks brilliant butt. It is getting difficult with the weathe now as it is so cold even in a nice dry garage. What events are you planning on doing in it? What i mean is will you be travelling all over the uk or are there plenty of events near you. Thanks for the comment on my videos. Autotests are brilliant if you have never driven rwd before. I would recommend it to anyone with a freshly built car as it is a lot cheaper to break down on a £10/£30 event rather than u full on £309 stage rally.
