compact raod rally

[compact119]

haha yes quite, i was riding the red route at dalby forest yesterday and nerly had a few dig off's, no cage to help either

[compact119]

Well it's been a wile...... Been busy with just life in general, had a little girl, she's now 3 and really busy with other people's cars. But....

The car has been sold twice and I ended up with it back so made a start again. It's got a cage in it now, full weld in job with triangulation. Fully adjustable read beam. Seat rails welded in and all the sealer and sound deadening removed.

Currently on with doing a new boot floor set up as the compacts are rubbish with the wheel sitting really high. Will try and get some pics up once I get a little further on. Anyone else change the boot floor ?

[compact119]

Oh and also on with doing the twin eared conversion on the diff but need to find the correct back plate.

finally got some pics sorted

strengthened back axle and arms


plated and stitched strut tops


hate welding where body sealer has been

someone is always keen to help


side panels for the boot floor



will get some more pics of the cage and its pick up points when i manage to get some more pics uploaded

Well that's the boot floor finished ready for a tray.


works out about 5kg's lighter.....every little helps

i need to get hold of a back plate for me diff to get the twin eared mount sorted out.

also my spit has arrived so i can hopefully get on with the underside a lot easier now

5kg worth the hassle, mine is in the 1040kg mark without any fiberglass and 4pot engine.

If I had known this floor part weights 5kg...this part wasnt on my car...

My diff mount is on back order so tht will be some point next week.

There is load of weight to come out the car still although lots has already gone still undecided if I'm going remove some from the inner rear 1/4.
