I've had 4 Scoobies and I'm building up my fifth from now.
I have to explain something about nr:4 to help you understand nr:5 though.

Nr:4 is a 1995 non-turbo shell completly built up with 2004 STI materials.
Subframes, hubs, wishbones, tank, complete loom, dashboard, engine, gearbox, axels, diffs, everything.
All this car needed was a cage for extra strength and a paintjob.

Now I have bought a new goodie, very rare, and much better than just a cage and a paintjob!
I am going to build everything from the last project into this one.

A genuine Prodrive Group-N rally chassis, LHD, seam welded and full cage by Prodrive themselves.

When I picked it up:

Did the first small step on the chassis today.

I'll begin with the dash, and the first thing to begin with is the heater unit.
First problem, there is a beam from the cage that runs through the dash.
That wouldn't be a prob as it runs there on a standard car also, but only then it's removeable.

Now there is no way to mount the unit behind the beam in one piece.


The beam:

I've got a heater unit to use as a dummy, the one that I'm going to use is still in the other car.
I had to separate this unit because it would not fit in one piece behind the beam.
2 mounting points were also removed, which is no problem as these would not be useable anyway.

The 2 unit parts:

One part fitted:

Et viola, a heater unit in place:

I'm not sure if I will leave it like this, I'll contact my friend in the rally team if cutting out the beam brings down the strength, if it's not significant I will cut it out and use the original.


greets

Great project! Will make a very nice car.

Do you have something like license papers with the shell so you can get it road legal? Or is that not the plan anyway?
