A very productive day at the shop. We got the fire extinguishers installed. I had to modify the bracket for in front of the seat. The metal head extinguishers take up a bit more space. We got the trim and the interior pieces back into the car. Christine managed to shove the headliner back in by herself. I know the production rules state I don’t have to have that or the back seat in, but a little sound absorption can’t hurt. I originally spent 3 hours modifying it to fit – it’s going back in…

Big progress was made on the skidplate front. With some help from Ryan from the shop, I welded the nuts to the back of the skidplate bracket. This makes the ‘two wrench lock washer fiasco’ go away. I have the side sill attachments finished. Two 6 foot long pieces of angle iron, ready for C clips. The full length skidplate should go on her tomorrow.

Last weekend I had bare metal on the rollcage, one seat and five year old seatbelts in a dirty car.
Tonight I have a Production Spec rally car with a little bit of finish work to do.
The Rally Neon is reborn!
Pictures to follow…
