Back in 1979 there was a low budget programm in America. 2 cars were build to compete in Amarican rallies. Through the years i gathered some pictures and i thought it would be nice to put them in a topic. Maybe somebody has more.

One car was completely destroyed. The other one was used in several rallies during the years. Then it was stored and in the end it was transported to Belgium. It still is there now.

Nice view throught the left rear window. On the right side of the car you can see a modification of the rear suspension. Someone cut holes in the rear bulk head and aded some extra bars. Then welded a housing over it. Shock absorbers are also modified. I saw this car personally and it has gone through some changes. Just to realise more grip.
