Project: Rally Beater

Decided to start a thread on the project I've wanted to do for a little while now. After swapping all the good things off my red 91 Talon to my 91 Galant VR4, the Talon was literally left with nothing. Now that I finally have the car somewhere it can be worked on, I've started stripping it and making it into the cheapest possible rallyx/AutoX/Rally car I can build.

My guidelines are somewhat simple:
-Must be street legal, as I can't afford to trailer it anywhere
-Must be safe
-Must be reliable
-Must be fun
-Must be cheap

Eventually I want to get into staged rally's and if the car is together still, I'd like to utilize it. So with that in mind, I also have to be careful what I do to it as I don't want to make the car illegal for Rally America.

I have a few parts to get me started such as a small-ish fuel cell, some bits of a roll cage, gauges, and a 5 point harness.

Anyways, for now, here are a couple pictures of where it's at. There'll be some rust repair as well.
