I have been lurking around the forums recently and I need some help with a project car I have and the possibility of using it to join a hill climb event.
Short background: I am long time street rodder and now am itching to actually give my project I have not touched in years a purpose.
Car: 1971 VW bug, built in the pro-street style, full frame, IFS, 9” rear, 5.3l w/th3500, 6pt cage, only ever driven to cruise nights
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
Idea: rebuild to comply with safety standards – rework roll cage(FIA?, NASA? Which standard?), seat mounts, fuel cell…… adjust suspension, change wheels/tires…..
Question: Before I do this, if I rework the car to comply, would this qualify to race in any of your events? Would I be better off starting with something else?
