Default C2 Turbo Body Racecar Project

My race car project is moving on steadily. I began by acid dipping the chassis, fully seam welding the chassis, installing air jack tubes and a cage, cut off the roor and installed a non-sunroof from a 1969, and installed turbo flares off of an 86 turbo. Chassis begain as a 93 C2.

Are you using stock C2 turbo body panels on the car?
Are you using the bumper core supports?
Thanks Geoffrey...

Anything that was not needed was cutoff and removed, including the bumper supports. All of the body panels are either fiberglass or carbon fibre. I expect the car to weigh between 2000 and 2100lbs when completed.

Ok...very impressive! So, what is the purpose of this car and what do you have in mind for the powertrain?

The purpose of this car is to obviously have fun, but also to install a MoTeC ADL Dash and M800 ECU in it for display and support of my business. Powertrain will be 6spd and 3.8RSR engine although it will be wired so a turbo engine can be installed in the future.
