Fantastic to see a Fastback being campaigned again. They can be made to be competitive - good on you andyb; it is just a pity Chrysler were completely disinterested in them and did nothing to develop them at all: they were of course pushing the Avenger; but if they'd put some effort into the Rapier, I'm sure it would done well, at least in the early years of their life. (I'll have a look for that switch and a Holbay rocker cover at the weekend )
A really tough rally on the cars but finished with no problems 27th and 5th in class managed to set 1 fastest test time and equal 911's mini coopers and an rs1600 on a couple of others well pleased with the car it never missed a beat over 800 miles
No damage on the shakedown rally but nearly parked it in the scenery once lol I haven't got a switch sorted getting a bit late to find one although I do have a spare one that fits onto the dash if it totally fails
Did you get your switch sorted andyb? I've not commented before , but that car looks great. Hope it didn't get any damage on the rally. Its been an interesting thread to follow and great to see it on the road. Cheers. G
The forum has been a little quiet over the last few days :(
Got a few more jobs sorted this afternoon mounting a second rally timer clock And making a bracket for a brake light switch off the pedal
Have a problem with the ignition switch it won't fire when cranking until The pressures off the key then it starts then won't turn off until the key Is fully turned off !
Got the extinguisher in and the sump guard fitted real neat job on the guard looks like it was made to fit a rapier
