relocated battery 2

in order to relocate the batterycables, straps are welded to the trunkfloor. Original-style clamps.

relocated battery

Super Stock cars had the battery relocated in the trunk. Peebles will be fitted with this option also.

floorboards

Peebles was fitted with a rubber floormat. Moisture got in between the floormat and the floorpans..resulting in no-more-floorpans.
Wilco & Toon did a heck of a job and changed the floorpans with some repro-parts from Jim Kramer Automotive

no more dents

due to a majorly cross-eyed dude in the port of Zeebrugge, the front valance was heavily dented. Wilco put all his efforts in this piece of metal. Wilco won!

right wheeldrops

Toon & Wilco tried to save as much original sheetmetal. See this pic of the right wheeldrop; they almost saved it all.
