I havent been following along.. but where is the down tube going that comes from the top of the main hoop ??

Surprised you are installing the GT kit with a caged car.

The down tube goes to the shock towers, then another fork from that goes to the inside suspension ear.

What I was getting during hard corning is a twisting effect on the down tube to the suspension ear (The right rear was actually barely rubbing in the fender occasionally). I think this was mainly due to where the chassis was weakend due to rust. I replaced the severely rusted areas, but I think the whole structure is probably slightly weaker due to the rust.

I decided to lock it all in together with the stiffening kit. I think I will only use the piece pictured above and the small piece that ties that to the outer mount. I am still considering if I should use the one that goes on the bottom side of the mount.

It looks good. I really like that color of blue.

I would use the other piece you are referencing.

The side piece you installed isnt really needed when you run a tube to the front of the shock tower. What we used to see in GT caged cars (with no down tubes) they would crack right in front of the shock tower as we increased spring rate over 300lbs. The stiff kit didnt help this. Only the tubing to the front side of the shock tower helped (or to the top of the frame rail just in front of the shock tower)

This car looks familiar. Was this the one that the "dealer" in KY had for sale ? Had multiple pics on a website they run for a small used car dealership ?

Yep same car. It ended up having more rust in it than I thought when I bought it, but That is all behind me now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

I was asked last April to have someone take a look at the car for us (Resident German Female) She wanted to know if I could go buy it for her and bring it back here. She wanted a track/AutoX car. I told her we would locate something closer to us... we did... The rest is history. It appears you have sorted out all the issues. Get it back together so you can enjoy it.

This is my patch I made for the door sill. There was a rust repair done there in the past that was bascally hammer a big dent in all the rust, then fill with 1" of bondo. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Wow, I just ran across your repair thread. That series of pictures is a good story for those who think that a bunch of rust means the junk yard. Good work and good luck. I was worried about just replacing my battery tray and claening up surface rust. I am inspired.
