So here are the facts.

My turbo car needs a new body...
I've got a new worn body but it needs new sills, floors, bootbottom?, feetrest??

Looked for prices, this will set me back for about 200 euros (only Parts)

I can make all the stuff myself but then from stainless also for 200 euros....

Made a drawing for channneling or original what do you think....

what more do I need to adjust with about 6cm channeling????

steering tube angle
rising the pedals lowering the seets
shortening the headlight bars
rearlight panel adjustment
????
????????

Hi LPGO,

for 6 cm I don't think you have to change a lot, just need a cross coupling for your steering tube, pedals, dont think you have to change them (maybe shorten them ;) )

of course the support of the front fenders, and headlight bar, but you'll discover that when you're working on it

seems like a nice project, keep us informed! (PICS!!!! ;))

Rusty is correct on the steering rack coupling, use one from a GS.
60mm needs to be removed from the bottom edge of the front inner guards and the buldge for the engine heads should be raised 60mm.
Pedals can remain untouched.
Make a thread on Snails about it.!
I think your floor/sills design is kickass!

Floor etc looks great - Question - will your intercooler, pipework or turbo fit under an lower bonnet?

If you're typical of most Dutch guys so over 1.9m tall, maybe start practising now for getting in and out of the car after it's been channelled?

A cabin trunk would be most suitable, although a very large suitcase might work... :lol:
