Vodka kick spring refurbish

I would love to have access to a chassis like this. I would love to build a replica using the original design. I am more of a metal fabricator then a fiberglass person and would love to take on this challenge.

I'm just about to send some pics of original tubs to the chap who fabricated the Gartrac steel tubs.
He's wanting to make some more.

I know who has some jigs, 'don't think there's much chance of getting access to them though?

That looks different to how I remember seeing the cage above the rear bulkhead it used to have a full cage inside doubling up the original. Is it his second car being built ?

That makes a lot is sense, I'm now betting it's a 2nd tub being prepared.

I think you're right Rob. There should be more (additional inside) cage visible.

If I rallied one of these original cars (ha!), I'd have a replica tub made, and save the original one.
I'm sure a lot of that goes on in historic racing?

As seen here after about 15secs in.

Still love that vid. What superb driver he still is. And he didn't break it doing the event later either

Vince.

There's a few more projects posted. I thought the A2's were galvanised, bad case of tin worm!!
