It's not at the sort of level I would expect to pay for, but i'm too poor to pay for it anyway so it'll have to do haha.Love this project. Its a great read and the fab work is looking great. Keep at it.
Did think about it, discussed it, also stand points in the sills, and welding up the back doors. Oh and air jacks too - but decided against. Primarily cost, also time and effort. I can always do stuff like this in coming years anyway when budget frees up or maybe when I retire haha.What an epic story!!
While it is all apart is there any chance of tying the front turrets to the cage, would be a worthwhile mod if it can be accomplished, if it is on your to-do list then I apologise.
I wondered why you always wore sparklesyou cant polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter
Looks like a Prima racing bonnet to meWhat's that bonnet off?

It's a Renault 21 Evo bonnet from Prima Racing, it's a fibreglass rep of an R21 bonnet with the Integrale style hump and genuine Lancia vents. I guess Prima bought a bulk stock of them from Lanica to make these bonnets back when they were available.What's that bonnet off?
Both. The Europa Cup R21's had 300hp and were a R21 shell with a cage, basically. There were mods to wheel arches, and they ran cool centre-lock hubs but in general they were a modified road car. They were in a single make series, even supporting F1 back in the late 80's. You could buy the whole "build your own Europa cup car" kit from Renault. We think there were quite a lot of these made, sixty-plus by some accounts.@DaveL485 . Please excuse my ignorance. The R21's that raced were they a closed formula or were they a European touring car series ? Were they production based or were they really specials that had the same silhouette and were very different under the skin
My recollections of the roadcars were that Ford had the 2wd sierra's followed by the 4wd and that Renault did more or less the same thing with the 21, although the Renault product would be much harder wearing than the Ford and would have been the thinking man's Performance Saloon of that era.
