Hey Mark thanks for the pics, it's good to see what goes into building a car, remember to keep us updated with loads of pics ;) ;) It's a bit of a nightmare getting all of the sound deadening off, if you're lucky it'll chip off if it's brittle. Alternatively use a hot air gun gently & get a paint scraper under it as you warm it. Are the floor pans ok?? What sound deadener are you gonna use? I've read good reports on "Brown Bread" & it stands up well in comparisons with Dynamat, but is quite a bit cheaper. What amount of bodywork is needed to bring it up to spec? Cheers..Nige

Going to use the products from Second Skin Audio. Not a bitumen mat in site - :lol: They have a very good paint on product which you can use on the underside too, cue linky: http://www.secondskinaudio.co.uk/ and for all you street/racers out there, it also means it's light :D

I'll also be using their mat as well.

Floor is good, which is a bonus. Considering it spent a year or two in a damp garage as well :O Otherwise the whole bodywork is not too bad. It has had a rearend shunt in it's time, as the bootlid does not shut flush on one side. Means the rear valance will need shifting about a bit. One of the framerails is also bent, luckily it's not gonna be used with the new suspension :)

"Haven't got a camera"!! come on Mark, you just wanted to tell us you got an iphone :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That looks like a lot of work, I assume you're following the thread on Lat-g where old Rupp can't seem to get his to his liking. At least he's doing a lot of ground work trying to dial it in for you :lol: :lol:

All joking aside, that's coming along well mate, good to see you back at it again, any more pics??

cheers....Nige

I just don't get why Steve Rupp builds a car like Bad penny & then doesn't drive it at the Autocross's himself, instead he lets Mary Pozzi drive it....weird.

Nigel, I've wondered about that....Not to belittle 68 Pro Touring 's build but I also wonder how much more performance is gained with the non stock 3 link set up versus a the stock style Hotchkis TVS set up that Mary runs on her own 2nd Gen. I would love to do something like this but with no welding skills I'm limited to a bolt on set up....
More pics and explanations for (Me) the uneducated please!!!! Great build...
