Rally car build., In need of suggestions. Options

[Silverstreak]

I recently aquired a 74 2.0 and plan on building it to rally spec. Nothing to serious, just gravel, clay, and not so rough dirt roads. So, I've been hunting arouund for 914 build threads and have come up dry. Has anyone here had experience with such a build? I realise I'll need to sure up the chassy and suspension. Wondering if I could get suggestions on what shocks and springs to use, anti roll bars etc. Any advice would help. Thanks in advance.
Cheers

I got my cage from Custom Cages here in the UK. It came pre-bent and needed to be finished off and welded in. Whatever cage you buy it needs to meet the specification required by the racing body/association you will be racing under in your rallies. Put the incorrect cage in now and you'll have to rip it out and put the right one in when you start rallying officially.

One thing you need to ensure is that the base car body is sound. By that I mean it needs to be free of any dodgy (weak) crash and rust repairs.

Once you've stripped out the interior, put a cage in and put the skid plates on you're nearly there.

Here's a shot of how I did the interior

Next you need to counter the added heat that the skid plate is going to bring to the party. First thing is a front mount oil cooler, a big one!! Here's mine

Put some mud flaps on and you're good to start rallying. This got me to the point where I got the first 2 years of rallying in and started having a laugh and learning the ropes, like this

Oh yeh, nearly forgot you'll also need an electric cutoff and a plumbed in extinguisher system.
