why remove the floor, and keep the full metal body?

cage looks like an 'illegal' spec if wanting to compete

custom rear axles seem to be a popular weight saving option too... don't know if you can class them as road legal though

I thought it would be pretty cool if he made a left hooker, even the weight out and all.

yeah mate, add the bloke i named above on fb, theres tons of pics of it on there... think the V6 may be coming out though, was on about a saab lump to me yesterday... the V6 has dropped a valve guide and killed a piston

theres a few cars like this over sea and the rules are a bit different over there

Some work going into that. Wonder what the final weight is. Interesting what hes done with front end. Would the frobt slam pannel not effect strenght? For i see he hasnt any bracing going across.
Must look him up of facebook the night when i get home

yeah i like that too, thinking something like this for mine and keep standard wings and bonnet till funds allow for a clip on 1 piece fg front end
only issue would be where would i mount the p/s headlight
and no not really, the strength is in the chassis legs and cross member and if you look he's added a bit of strength in there to be safe
