Default ANY GC8 RALLY/COMPETITION SHELL BUILD TRHEADS

Evening all,

Other than the **** that is the Gobstopper build strangely I am struggling to find any build threads of either rally cars or competition cars, in particular the shell preparation.

I've also heard there is a Prodrive GrpA build doc kicking around and would love to see it, obviously happy to cover costs incurred.

Thanks in advance

I built a GC8 from an RA about 10 years ago, as far as the shell was concerned I fitted a full weld in Sparco cage but didn't bother with any other welding. It rallied for 8 years in my hands, mostly forestry, inc numerous top 10's and class awards.
