Great video, good find

 

[Hutchie]

roof must bolt on or something, huh

 

[miltage2]

Not bad going!

 

[Jay Payne]

Great vid, surprised how long it took them to strip it tho

 

[Peperami]

roof must bolt on or something, huh

Probably a carbon skin roof or similar

That was good! Odd how some bits seemed to take so long though, stripping and fitting the cage seems to be half that time, but they did remove most of the drivetrain/ axles etc.

Why did they not start with a shell though?

 

[brisa4984]

yeh bit harsh to give em the full model.. Would have been easier/simple/cheaper to just give em the shell..

 

[traffmeister]

top quality! any1 fancy doing it lol

 

[clvs2222]

^^lol

looks liek they had problems with fitting the front bumper. went on and off about 4 times during the end,

top quailty work by the pro's. handly used any orginal parts of the car. except shell obviously.

 

[traffmeister]

i rekon if we all put head togeva lads and lasses we could do it lol

*thinks of the film waterboy - "you can do it....make a scooby"*

 

[clvs2222]

lol,

im in, if your paying!!

just need about £100k.

 

[traffmeister]

haha your the one who needs a car with your status on car so i rekon you should do it as your project next year lol

Its a group n rally car so has to be built from a standard car hench them buying one from a showroom lol

 

[ado]

Unlike the proper WRC cars by ford. The WRC cars are built from just a shell aren't they? Straighter than anything.

 

[MillerLight]

should have just sent a shell. bet all the staff have plenty of OE parts in there garage!

 

[Fred@BTM]

as said its a group N car not a full on WRC car, so it has to be built from a road car

 

[Djw Dave]

Ace!

 

[rctempire]

Amazing video.

 

[powey]

When I watched a WRC program on discovery though they also stripped a factory spec car

 

[BioHzrd]

I watched that on Piston heads great vid, car striped to bare shell in under day !

 

[DrR]

Great vid but don't see the point to it.

So apparently it took the guy at the start of the video 40 minutes to peal off the vinyl from the bonnet? :S

No the timer is man hours

so if there are 4 people working on the car thats 4 man hours of time if you see what i mean?

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Ah ok, can't be bothered to re-watch to see how many people were on it at the time though.

The roofs like that as the cage must be welded in so its the only way to get it in. The old evo was banned from one rally as they did not weld around the top tube because the roof was in the way lol. M-Sport cut out little sections of the roof, weld the cage and then repair the roof. FIA wont allow carbon roofs in WRC Group N spec. Plus the American subaru is a bit of a joke, you cant beat prodrive for scoobs!

 

[Beef-Mc]

I wonder what they do with all the factory parts?

 

[Rob 88]

Sell them on or throw them in the bin! Iv got Two of Mcraes magnesium OZ wheels in my room because they were in a skip
