So having found heaps of rust, and needing to make some decisions we ended up with a shell that I thought was salvageable.
It was at this time that James Patrick convinced me to get my other project on a Turbo Chassis, which in hindsight was the right call. It's really allowed me to build two cars with completely different characteristics. The "RSR" as we call it is a LHD beast, really designed for track days.
So we sent the 1973 chassis for acid dipping while the RSR was being built up, and got the pictures back....
This gives as a nice clean platform from which work on...
The next issue was a RHD clip... sourced from the UK
These give us all the parts for the RHD conversion. They logically needed to be dipped as well.... Can't have rust.
