I think with the history that you have, especially the pictures, you should keep it as close to how it was, but on the other hand if it is going to be a rally car then it needs bubble arches! Will be a rally car won’t be going back to a road car! all cars evolve obviously! Lol
meXEco Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 Then do it exactly as it was it deserves that lol as it has a nice history. It doesn't need unnecessary bubbles to make it a rally car that you probably will never use in anger anyway? You seem more concerned on its eventual value more than its historical value - but I reckon leaving it as she was will be more valuable in the long run. Just my humble opinion of course lots of good cars get ruined by going too far - remember the saying 'keep it simple stupid!' 2
YellowTaxi Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 Thats pretty cool. If it was me I would 1000% be putting in a bit of research and making it exactly as it was when it competed. Be a real bit of history and unlike almost every reso it may actually be worth the sum outlaid in parts and time.7 1
Monza Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 I'm with the majority m8....restore it as it was when competing. Without the bubbles I'm thinking. You have a few pics from it's rallying history, so maybe enough to get it going. Hopefully find out more about running gear, suspension, brakes etc.Whatever you decide.....keep the resto pics coming [emoji106][emoji106]Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
notenoughtime Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks for the responses, it was full grp 1 spec, so baby atlas, rocket box, Bilsteins, wcxm, twin 44 idfs, parts wise I’m not far away! Just need to get welding!
meXEco Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 You say you have a full on Atlas-maybe get that shortened instead of bubbling keeping it in period and probably cheaper to do as well?
