How about replacing the side and rear windows with Perspex to reduce the high up weight? Or would that cause legal problems with road use in NL?...

Thx Lee.

My brother used 924 seats on 3-point bases and had to cut'n'shut a lot to mount them low enough. I guess a bucket is a bit easier (bolts to the side on yours?)

Thinking out loud: beam design mod?

Could this work?

As we all know, the standard torsion beam front suspension is not ideal for mainly one reason. When the suspension compresses there is no change in camber. So as the body rolls in...
