Since the Mk2 berg arched polo rally car has finally been deemed to be beond repair I have decided to build a rally car using the ex VW motorsport 6N2 Shell i bought a few years back.

The plan is to reshell bits of this

and bits of this

using this engine and gearbox setup

into the ex Volkswagen Motorsport 6n2 cup car shell. (will get pics up tomorrow of this)

to get something like this

so here starts anothe built lets hope I can build another car to the quality of the mk2 and lets hope I dont destroy this one with in 3 rallies.

its gonna be gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Group N or Group A?

Hope you've got a decent gearbox - I'm finding the stock one a bit long and I want a shorter ratio/final drive in mine!

It will be far from group N. not sure what class the thing will come under.

Ye i have a sort ratio gearbox well the sortest gears i could find using standard vw boxes ans a 4.267 final drive.

nice to hear things are pushing forward, when you aiming to get done? I'm doing the southdown stages in feb next year...

hpe to be out with it In a years time.

Some tasty pics of the the Volkswagen motorsport shell. lots of bars.

as you can see the poor girl has been in storage for a while waiting for her time to shine.

Now this, i cant wait to see :)

first thread in a long time i've literally sat up an been really interested in.

best of luck on this mate, really looking forward to seeing progress

repping the rugby top, cage looks awesome fella, no wonder you guys struggled to get it off the trailer, will still fly with the engine in, have you decided on the liverly yet?

looking good man, can't wait to see this.

also really liking the WRU shirt!

cheers lads,

I think it will be going the TNT colours.

HAHA the 1995 welsh rugby world cup shirt. I had this in my last year of primaty school 1995 ready for the world cup. and I can still wear it.

right people whats the score with the top mounts between the 6n and the 6n2 I notice on the 6n2 shell it has bolt holes in the shell around the main big hole and the 6n just has the big hole smae kind of idea as the mk2.

yep thats it, the 6n2's top mounts are bolted on using the 3 bolts at the top of the turret, whereas the 6n just has the normal single bolt on the strut holding it in

ok cheers so i need to get 6n2 top mounts then.

Are there adjustable top mounts avilable for the 6N2? if so where Can I get them?

I dont think there arte matey....I've had aq good look around for some and I've never come across any

what do u think of these. they come with adjustable top mounts.

I wouldn't be using anything made by "compbrake" they are terrible quality components, I had a big brake kit made by them the mounts sheared in half the first time i used them!
