Before you go too much further check the build regs of the class you want to compete in. Saves building the car twice! Great start & best of luck.
Absolutely correct. You may find (I don't know about this, but you had better check) that the standard seat mounting points are not deemed to be strong enough to just bolt a seat to. They may possibly have to be reinforced with steel plate welded underneath. You must not, ever, take any chances with your safety where rally car builds are concerned, apart from the fact that you won't be allowed to run in events if the car doesn't meet the build regulations....
This is an excellent build! I definitely agree with all the comments on checking build specs for the class you are going to run in. If you do scca events you can find the updated rules at dk1xgl0d43mu1.cloudfront.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/043/364/2019_SCCA_RallyCross_Rules.pdf?1549659012
Find a local rally group and get some help, or come to Denver and I’ll help! :)
This! She should look in to that first.
Sarah, be careful that you know what you are building! Is it for Rallycross (which in UK at least is run as 4 cars at a time racing multiple laps of a short circuit composed of both tarmac and loose surfaces, usually with a jump or two included). No passenger permitted in Rallycross, so only one seat and very highly tuned racing engines used?
Or is it for stage rallying (cars start each timed stage at 30 second or 1 minute intervals. Two occupants to each car, the driver and the navigator or co-driver, who calls out directions from a "road book", as competitors are generally not allowed to drive the timed stages in advance of the competition). Rallies tend to have lots of different classes of vehicles competing on the same route, for overall victory but also for class wins, and the amount of tuning allowed to engines and suspensions depends on the build regs for that class.
The build regs for the two sports will be very different, so be clear exactly what you intend to be doing with your car before you start to build it.....
It is funny but, people racing RC cars will not do this either!!! They just start buying parts and installing them, then get mad when those parts are not legal for the class they want to race in!! As well as other common mistakes. General racing common sense is lost on people.
Looking forward to following Sir Codsworth's journey from the beginning. Your excitement with this new project is contagious!
I love your car reviews btw, it's informative without being boring or long winded.
WoW!!! This project is moving fast forward... Awaiting see you rallying
I love the way you attack a project! I can't wait for the next video in what your gonna do! Awesome work, Sarah!
Safety glasses. Hate to see you get injured.
Also, just sub out the sunroof glass for plexiglass. Keep the stock seal.
Or in polycarbonate (impact resistant)
Most U.S. rally organizations require a metal roof in their rule book, anything other then metal won't pass tech.
yup, what David said. Acrylic (plexiglass) should never be used for any window in a car. Polycarbonate is fine for side and rear windows only for rally and usually the rule is the thickness must be same or greater than the stock glass. Sunroofs can ONLY be replaced with metal for every north american rally rules that I've seen. That means no plastic, carbon fiber, fiberglass, whatever... Aluminum is fine. I did this to the bmw rallyx car myself and a buddy have. Just riveted it to the roof and sealed with silicone... looks surprisingly good with no creases or anything. Metal must of of same or thicker than the material the roof is made of.
I've said this before but your editing is fantastic. I know that takes a lot of extra time but between that, your choice of music and the other visuals your videos are a joy to watch.
Why not make a metal sunroof to replace the glass? It'd double as an emergency escape hatch, too! 😉
Or polycarbonate?
Have a glass shop put in a pop in window.
I was thinking a lexan replacement for the sunroof. Then just wrap over it.
Really looking forward to this project... great channel... always look forward to your videos...
I really like where this build is going. FYI...An old square milk crate works well as a temporary seat to move the car around. Keep up the good work.
It's so much fun just to watch this!
I'm looking forward to the next video.
Don't worry your video's are never boring, you're informative and funny so keep them coming.
I love your car reviews! I can’t wait to see how you build this car up. Keep up the great work.
Thank u very much for enduring the stress of doing all this alone-- truth is that seeing u working on cars has gotten my car work and fixing desires and confidence back. You're a very talented mechanic actually.
I raced a 1966 911s that had a sun roof. What we did was cut an aluminum pannel that was over sized and pop riveted it in. We used the same aluminum to make door skins also. Good luck with the project.
You are doing a great job with your content. Your style is unique and very relatable to the average car owner/buyer. Keep grinding and making informative/entertaining videos
Great start. Looks to be a fun project. Love the car reviews.
Your car reviews are great. Just as good as the build content. Keep it up.
Congrats on the new bits 😎
i love your car reviews! you work so hard but you love what you do and that comes threw very strong! absolutely adore your content!
I like watching both of your builds and reviews!
Great new project !!!
I am super pumped about this project because I would love to do this too I live in the uk and im surprised more people don't do this due to the pot holes and rough roads and the amount of traffic your car would still look super cool no matter what you throw at it
I also love your Car Reviews. Most unique reviews ever!!! BTW that’s a good thing!! :)
Selling off the stock interior is smart. Recoups a large portion of the cost of the car, plus you won't need to find a place to store the parts.
Love your car reviews. Car reviews done by someone who is a car enthusiast are always far better than reviews done by advertisers. Yours are great. Looking forward to the next one.
What a funny project Sarah! Thanks.
Your doing a great job Sarah!!!
Love your Videos, you and little Sarah make a great team, great and informative content don't change a thing i think you guys are amazing.....nice to see some one genuine .
Love the fast forward. Great video thanks
I like the reviews and you get all dolled up ,nice. And the tech part is cool in the garage with the spec's. Real top gear the best car show ever , grand tour.
Such a detailer....
"I'm tearing all this crap out, but first let me clean it"
U r so dedicated , so good at your craft
Another well made video
I am so excited to follow this project....brilliant!!!!!
All I can say is whatever you decide to do I will definitely be watching!😁
Wow that's a big project . . . good luck, should be interesting. Cheers.
I think all your videos are entertaining. Even when I have a bad day I can always get a good laugh from watching your videos. Thank you.
FINALLY! Been waiting days for this. Not complaining, just excited :)
I really like your car reviews! Keep doing what you are doing...
Yeah the scoop idea would be cool, connected as a cold air intake. Looks like fun!
You picked a great car to start with 👍
Sarah I think this just might be one of your best videos yet. You got a ton of work done clearing Codsworth out.
Great job.
Hello!!
I admire your passion and your personality.
Wow...you're getting down and dirty right away! What a great start to this new adventure, that I'm certain all of us will follow you every step of the way on. I also like the name you chose for the car. Make sure to keep us posted on what happens to Teeter Tot, OK? Love your channel.
I could have sworn you had help and am totally shocked to learn you're doing it all by yourself ... Bravo lady you are amazing and very humorous I love your deadpan Style🐧🐧💛💜💟
BRAVO Sarah ..at least a project entertainer who cleans out a car before advancing...
Love all your videos. Car review are awesome you do a great job
Yay another video! Keep it up Sarah!
You ROCK...and love your car reviews they are awesome
Cool project. Nasty head-liner.
Great Job Sarah. There ain't nothing you can't do!
Really enjoy the car review videos.
Great call on Codsworth, even without all the reference points, it's a fun name with a touch of class! This video was real upbeat, both music and your attitude, so good to see you looking truly excited to be tearing it apart getting it ready.
Swapping the roof panel is a lot more work than it seems, and generally one that came from another car isn't going to fit quite right. Welding will probably warp the roof, so best bet for something that you wouldn't be paying out the ass for, is probably going to be making some little support brackets and some seam-sealer/panel bonder to seal up a thin metal blank, maybe with some ribbing on it to keep it stiff.
Great progress, stripping ain't easy.
I think a dust mask and safety glasses are a must for this level of removal ..
Once upon a time I had an MK1 VW Jetta 1981 when I deleted the sunroof, I cut to fit a piece of plexiglass in the opening and used a generic weatherstrip molding to secure it. Then I painted it to match the car. Later I even replaced the 1/4 and backglass with plexi as well.
Sir Codsworth. I love it...never could come up with something that creative myself lol.
As to the car review videos you mentioned - I enjoy them. Most times, they're not a car I would personally choose for myself but it's interesting to hear stuff about other vehicles that I wouldn't consider. Can tell you put a lot of work into them too.
You're so excited! I love it :)
Wow so much work in one video 👍👍👍
And so many "that what she said" moment... ;)
yayyyyyy taking apart stuff is fun !
For larger Torx bits, I've used flatheads before. My old Saab had a T30 that I couldn't find, so found a bigass flat head that fit 2 of the splines and was able to get it out.
You are a very special lady you make my day everytime I watch your videos
Looking forward to this build👍
Good call painting the interior white - it's so much easier to see things when you're installing bits, or troubleshooting.
I like your car reviews keep it up Sara! 😁
i love your car reviews
Gotta love demolition day. Lots of fun.
Re the focus roof, the metal is thin and you are quite right, 'patching' has problems, as a rally car project a replacement roof skin is better, especially as you will be fitting a roll cage.
You outdid yourself on camera angles. Love, love, love it. Your going to end up a producer and please don't forget us little people when your signing your first multi million dollar contract.
sarah you are fancy with that SNAP ON ratchet
Major project girl very cool
Love the new nails btw!! And putting in work on the car
Wow she's at it again. Love what you do. And still think I'm in love
You really tore into Sir Cod fast! It's a rally car, cheap piece of sheet metal bolted on with rounded cap bolts would look cool with the wrap. Make Sir Codsworth look like a bad-ass fighter that can't be eaten by other fish. This is going to be fun, you got a lot of help on here.
Hi, Sarah!
I wanted to give you a helpful hint for when you next replace factory bucket seats with after-market.
1. Remove the factory seats but leave the factory seat rails where they are.
2. Cut a square piece of aluminium checker plate (yes, I'm Australian) large enough so you can bolt the factory runners onto it.
3. Bolt the after-market seat to the aluminium checker plate!
It's a strong and simple fix that rally / race car drivers do, and it gives you the flexibility to put the original seat back into the car while you transplant the after-market seat into the next project.
good video sarah love watching you
The build begins. Or tear down anyway. That looked exhausting! I'll stay tuned!
I give you props for working with your hair down. Whenever I work on my car, I have to put it up or else it gets in my face, in the oil, etc
I look forward to seeing all of the Codpieces installed
Great name for your car. This look like it going to be a fun project
You look so happy and excited. For the sunroof, fabricate an air vent with a blower in it. You will be hot(er than normal) and sticky. being able to get some air moving in the car will really help. Plus it will help remove the dust and scent of burnt clutch....
You could have multiple people working, but lets be real, we tune in to watch you tear it up girl keep at it.... Much Love.
Hey Sarah! It be a good idea too put the bolts back that are on the floor or where there mite be a chance of getting outside air in. You don’t want to get fumes coming in.
The car reviews are great keep up the hard work. 😎🤙🦅
Rivet in a panel and seal it with seam sealer! Also you can make door cards out of plastic, I'd check for what thickness and type is best suited for the heat out there. For the sound deadning try and air needle descaler.
Car is looking good.
Another great video Sarah. Leave the roof it’s a lot of work and money to patch or replace that you can spend else where just replace with a pop up panel like you see in the top door slammer drag cars. Love your car reviews can’t wait for the next one.
I could watch u all day..
Looks like some DNA on those rear seats!
Beautiful
White and royal blue would look amazing 👌😁
Good job sarah!! That was close one, hope you wear eye protection. Keep it up, love your channel~~
Hey Sara oh my gosh this is what I am talking about a woman doing her own project car - this is definitely my plan as the more I get to learn more about cars - I have reached the point of stopping asking my husband to look under the bonnet so will eventually plan to do my one build (450SL)... this is a great video and has further given me confidence to move forward with my love of cars!
I have just seen the Nurunburg in the background have you been there already? Keep your head up and don’t give up you will get there what don’t defeat you will make you ❤️👌🏿 great video!!!
Dremel a long straight line in the t45 bolt (or any bolt) and use a flathead screwdriver to get them out. I had to do that a million times on stripped out bolts and screws on several old motorcycles I had. :)
I'd form a panel to bolt into the sunroof hole. You might be able to use the glass as a mold and layup fiberglass or carbon fiber over it, with a release agent, to make a lightweight, but strong panel. You could then glue or screw the panel into the channel around the sunroof hole.
Cut out a patch panel 1” wider than the sunroof hole for a 1/2” overlay and panel bond with rivets the patch to the roof making sure you work from the middle out when installing the rivets to prevent a wave in the middle. This will also give you something to mount a roof scoop to.
Yeah, off to an awesome project start Sarah.
Sunroof delete and scoop? How about cutting a seciton out of a Subaru engine hood to patch in?
Also, the airbag sensor/ECU is probably under the center console, bolted to the floor between the shifter and the firewall. Most cars have it thereabout. Easy to find because yellow cables/connectors. Unplug it and look if the car still starts and drives. Could be tied into the engine-ECU worst case.
Seats, remember that race buckets (and belts) expire, so you want to delay that date as far as possible. Get a seat from a base 5dr Mk1 Focus meanwhile.
Can't wait for the next episode... :D
great video, I actually watched this one twice. btw, I like the car reviews with Dos Sarahs
I love the new name. And I really like the style in which you produce these videos. One thing you could do on the interior is like a bed liner type material. The other thing is I recycled roof where you cut it all at the pillars and weld it in as one piece. That would take care of your sunroof. You could possibly have the same people that do the cage do that for you. It may require repainting if you don't want a different color roof although you may be able to find a blue one. If you search. I'm really digging the bill looking forward to it.
A roof scoop feeding air to a cooler for the Cod.😁
I thought the same thing. Lol
Kinda like how stock cars have side air intakes to cool the driver. But she would have to put in a rainwater drain system for the inevitable rain day. Lots of work for just her.
Pungent hot fish is fire. Before you commit to anything think on PHF. Yeaahhh!! 🐟🔥
