Default Some pictures of my S2 shell....

Took some the last time I was up at Danny's


A Pillar...



B pillar, Note how close the frame is to the shell



The frame and rear beam



Excuse the mess ... But you get the idea



Note again, Hoe close the frame is to the shell



Inner wings, Wont be there for much longer



And where the box will be sitting, But obvioulsy in-car



Opinions?!

and thanks,Radders

If it involves the quality of Danny's work, and combined with a nice reliable stage 3 cossie engine, it'll be a proper fun car!

Very cool

cannot imagine how much this will cost you in the end to get all this work done Rad.

surely there were cheaper options.

BUT........


its going to be spot on when finished....rwd.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, Its nice to see support when pushing boundries and creating new things, I read something about the cost of something like this, the reality is that if it a "track car" I'm building and it will be use on the road its more cost effective to build the car right, light and strong! this will be a better car than a S2 with a saph floor pan and it wont cost alot more. also this wont be rotten four years down the line. I aim to build cars to my cstomers requirements and budget so everything is tailor made to suit "there" needs. if radders wanted a daily driver S2 with a cossie rwd conversion it would again be a completely different car.

just remember anything is possible!!

I will be working out and pricing a package so that a rolling chassis can be brought with engine/gbox mounts and diff mounts mounts so the the owner can then fit his own body shell and panel or they can comission Adrenaline Race & Performance to build the package. will be able to do it with options from single adjustable coil over up to 3 way adjustable, stock control arms or fabricated fully adjustable etc.
