Hi and welcome to the forum! Your 340 stage rally car sounds interesting, keep us posted and it'd be good to see some pictures! Pete

Nice one! Looks like it could be an interesting project, The number plate is a little bit different too and possibly worth something! Pete

theres some more lightening to be done there - headlight washers, entire dash, fan system and probably a bit more :)

headlamp washers are out, all sound deadening is out, the dash is staying although what can be removed from under it is gone, not much more to be removed really.

door cards are completely gone, as is the glass, have perspex side windows for it with sliding openings, forgot to mention that! aluminium door cards are being made & door is completey empty. Much more lightening is very labour intensive, we havnt decided on the engine yet, but I know we have an S40 T4 unit sitting about doing nothing 8)
