Started cleaning up the back a lil. made some covers for the rear door holes
& coverd the tailgate

the bed is allmost done.

What are you doing for drainage, for when it eventually gets rained on?
I know unibody convertibles have drain flaps in the rocker panels, and if they clog the cars can hold a surprising amount of water.

Some people never have anything except ideas. Go do it.
Emissions & fuel economy haven't exactly been areas of strength for past rotary power plants, but absolutely no one with a soul has ever cared.

I drilled some drain holes where ever i could.
I allso used waterproof sealant EVERYWHERE! allso some spry foam in a few places.
I have only done small leak test so far. but have not been in a rain storm or anything yet.

Part 8 is out

Since i finished the car i have gotten into alot of things with the Turboute.
I have Conquered pikes peak, rode the dragon, rallycrossed it, made it into a magazine, Autox, been to the great sand dunes & alot more.

So since my last update alot has happened.

While i was gone away at training my wife rolled the car. but she is ok.

Should i rebuild?

that stinks man. Thats about the condition my donor was in when i got it. IF belt came off or broke a gear in the wreck then its going to need some valves replaced too.

glad shes ok

Damn. Sorry to hear and I hope the wife truly is OK (no whiplash etc).

Looks like the cockpit handled the crash well despite the mods. No serious movements and it looks like the doors still close(?).

Should you rebuild? Probably not. Even if the car can be put back together it will probably never feel right again. Unless you have serious attachment, best to move to the next project.


Cheers.
