    stick some steel rods in it with 16v pistons so you can make use of a decent cam

    Scrapped the old rally shell once stripped as it was a total mess, probably 4 different cars stitched together! At least front offside and a rear quarter stitched in to the original GSi shell. Got a mix of old rally car and donor car parts but as the rally car was Group N I need new or second hand performance parts to reach the spec I described. Alan at ProTec has been helpful and I've gone to him for a fair bit if stuff. Lots more pics to post when I can.

    I'm in Northwich and yes there's a fair bit of stuff I could sell on to help fund what I want to do. I just need to pull a list together and clean a few bits up

    So have you got a shell and how far are you planing to go in terms of shell prep, just cage or are you strengthening and seam welding too?
