What happens here
With the engine and transmission removed, the team plans to power wash the engine bay and inspect the chassis thoroughly. They aim to identify any additional weaknesses, particularly around the frame and suspension mounting points. The immediate goals include replacing cheesy bolts with stronger ones and potentially adding extra support bars to the chassis, as well as installing new seat belts and refreshing the interior hardware, and ensuring that all hardware is securely fastened to prevent issues during racing.
Goal: Clean the engine bay and finalize plans for chassis reinforcement and interior safety upgrades.
