RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

I pinched most of the design from here

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/a.brannan/index.htm

I made the back mounts by going to the rear bumper mount, then running a V of metal strip down then up to the rear spring shackle mount. I used a couple of old crappy sockets as spacers in the spring shackle mounts. On the page where I got the plans from he only mounts off the rear bar mounts, I found the panel would flex with a bit off a lift by myself let alone the weight of the shell.

Roger I'll get the other pics when I have some time to get it down from storage.

Thanks Bruce.

A novel way to bolt it to the rear - very good.

OK a bit more work done (I love having some time off work)

Floor pan stripped and painted, welded up a ton of holes and seam welded the shell. Also fitted tubes through the rails for mounting the cross member, the previous owner had just drilled holes and put no tubes through. He also did not get his holes lined up properly so I had to re drill and plate the top of the rail, the crap work some people do!
Talking about crap work I have attached a pic of the butchered strut top, how rough is that! I have ordered a set of replacement top panels from Palmside and will weld these in.
I have also fitted an air vent in the roof to get some air in during a rally and also to pressurise the cabin a bit and keep dust down.
