Bit more progress, have been working on fibreglass bootlid that I picked up on here as it has seen a lot of filler
and did not have any means of mounting it to the car or a catch and lock, so I cut up a bootlid that I had as a spare to
get the top mounts and the catch and lock. Then fit them to this one, still needs a good bit of cleanup work though

Test fitted the wide arch front wing basic shapes and with my widest wheels it looks like they should be pretty good
once I have widened them a wee bit more as the set up in photo is with the least camber available.

Also welded on the main strut top strengthening plates that I have fabricated and started seam welding in the engine bay
just need to weld in the side plates and then the strut tops will be pretty much finished.

Really cool, don’t have much like this in the states. You guys really got some of the best hot hatches.

This is going to have some serious lighting I can see, going to make a great rally car. What color are you planning on going with?

Thanks! Undecided on colour as of yet probably white and then we'll wrap it from there

Good call, and being a rally car there are a lot of great color schemes you can choose from
