Bodywork / Interior: The
front was removed from the bulkhead forwards, leaving just the chassis rails. The
bulkhead was cut and welded with a 4x4 air conditioning panel to allow
fitment of the factory air conditioning system. All new double inner
panels were welded in place. The front wings were
replaced with items specially commissioned from Southdown Aero Services.
These were taken from moulds of the original Gartrack hand beaten aluminium
thunder saloon shell. The composition was a carbon fibre and Kevlar mix.
The rear arches were cut away and replaced with rears from the above set.
The original RS500 side skirts and wheel arch flips were then moulded back
on over the Gartrack arches. The front and rear air dams were then
stretched wider to fit the wings. The car is now approximately 10"
wider. A 4-lamp rally spec lighting pod was then mounted on a quick
release set-up on the bonnet. A full roll cage was fitted with diagonal and
removable door bars. The shell was re-sprayed black by Ealing Ford. A
front strut brace was fitted. Momo steering wheel. 36 PSI boost gauge with
led showing air injector activation. Oil temperature gauge. Oil and fuel
