It was supposed to be ready this Saturday but it has been delayed until next Wednesday, so expect more questions as I ponder the evolution of the vehicle and my driving in comps.

The lure of the dark side..
Anyway I have been lured and 4 weeks ago set about acquiring a RR for comp use. I still have not taken possession of the vehicle as it has been worked on, though I am getting keen to get out and give it a run.

Short term - get out there and have fun
Medium term plans - to enter to Outback Challenge, possibly 2005
Long term - keep it reliable
Work being done,
The car is comp ready now, I have had to midify a few small things inside the cab (I am 6'2") to allow sufficient space for helmet with the roll cage.
No major things are being done, respray, electrical refinement (rewire whole car), engineered as a ute, and setting up things for comps ( wiring switch for winch into cab, roof lights etc), waterproofing etc

Nivce vehicle in the thread... almost the same colour as mine
After reading that thread, there are two reasons for flat topping the 4 door
1. To have greater clearance for the rear wheels, the removal of the rear body and fitting of a tray achieves this.
2. Less panel work to dint. (my tray has fold down sides that can be removed for comps, I have also thought about the idea of turning the tray sides into bog strips of alloy ladders or simular).
