Taylor's 1200 coupe rally car

This is my 1200 coupe rally car that i have been building for around 5 years now, recently just finished building it and have been doing a few autocrosses this year in it which i luckily enough won the autocross 0-1300cc class. :) But there are still a few things to modify and make for it before i can put it on the gravel.

My dad originaly was going to build it into a drag car but with him doing rallying and my older brother starting it was going to be too hard. Fortunatly it was giving to me when i was around 10, and have since been working on at as much as i could.
Here are a few pictures of the car.

I can vouch for Taylor here as i service crew for his bro. This is one extremly tidy 1200 coupe rally car. Everything has been done properly and its sounds freakin awesome.
I aint seen what it looked like before hand dude. What happened to those sweet wheels! :lol:

The spitfires. That is a pic of when dad had it and they were his. Worth to much money to give to me haha. Would rather 13x7 superlites anyway.

I saw this car just before it was finished. Far too nicely built for a rally car IMO.

Shit yeah, all my dad gave me when i was 10 was a thick ear!

Cool we car, the more I see, the more id love to get into hill climbing and historic rally.
Dreams are free (mostly)
