4 door mk2 rolling shell

Hi all
 
While im using my rally car ive decided to build a track car.. thats somewhat different, all i need is a rolling mk2 shell doesnt need bonnet bootlid or doors even rear glass.. if anyone in NSW (near Nowra preferrably) has one id love to hear from you..
 
(hint it will be running a 6 cylinder (300bhp motor and 15 x 10 slicks)
 
Cheers
Matty

    Wow Matty, that sounds pretty bloody interesting! Let me know when its underway, I'll have to duck over for a look at that.
    I'll keep my ears out if I hear anything.

    Out of interest why 4door shell and not a 2door? 
    For guards just have a look at the Mk2's in the Bergrennen German Hillclimb series. 
    eg:

    basically ill have to cut a fair bit of the firewall out to make the 6 cylinder to fit and with 2 doors getting harder to come by cutting one up for my experiment i cant really bring myself to do...
     
    Those are some nice flares.. i was looking at using somethin like dick johnson ran on his XD-XF group a falcons in the 80's

    Hi all

    Thanks for all the help. As luck would have it I won a 2 door race car off eBay the other day that has sat in a barn for 10 years needs a lot of work but will be a great base! I'll start a thread once I pick it up from Victoria this weekend :)
