whats that sump guard off? i have a few parts from a starion rally car that came from the UK, one of the parts i have is an alloy/titanium sump guard, its differen to that one. that looks like its off something else????

Redzone, PM'd you, regarding your sump guard.

the sump guard was apprently made for another rally staz(not orignal ralliart)

i would be interested in yours if you were willing to part with it

dave

this one i have i was told it's ralliart europe built, i'll post some pics, can give you dimensions etc, but i'm not interested in selling it sorry. you're quite welcome to copy it though...

you've breathe new life back into it. Cool!

Well done mate.
Your a lucky bugger :beer

hi all,
finaly got started on the rally staz.
removed the wings, bumper, front panel, splitter, bonnet, engine, oil cooler, intercooler, dash board and the mass mess that was loosely called a wiring loom.
i have found that there is a fair bit of welding needed( joys of living in the sunny UK!!!- rust loves it!!!).
mainly to the bulkhead along the seam line. the majority seems to be on the area where the a- pillars come down to meet the panels under the dash board and the gutter/water ways on the inner wings.
also found some rot in both foot wells , tho not too bad.
both sills need work also, but only on the outers.

heres a few pics to make you squirm;;
drivers side wiper panel/inner wing


drivers side(left hand drive) gutter rail on inner wing


started removing paint and rubbing down to see the true extend of damage




rot in the wiper panel/bulkhead


bulkhead seam is rotten


hole in drivers side sill :(


drivers side foot well- looks worse than it is- mainly surface rust where water got has under the paint


dash out etc


drivers side front panel?? has a bend to it- previus owner had an off at a trackday. should pull/bash out ok


empty engine bay :)


looking a bit sorry for its self :(





progress on the car is a bit stop and start at the mo, due to work commitments etc, but i will get there in the end.
once i have the welding done, things will start moving on quite quick(hopefully).


i will update as and when.
Dave

can you take some pics of the reinforced control arms? I'm very interested to see what the suspension looks like.

That's some nasty rust .

All the same places as my widey :x

How are the rear wheel arches? they always tend to rust.

I hate that they put salt on the roads in winter

lol.. if they didn't, you wouldn't be able to drive your starion AT ALL :P

eh there are alternatives to salt, we use no salt in oregon or washington, jsut some weird stuff that doesnt eat cars.
