Burnsie the rally wagon -final rally preparations added

We ran the first event, the Doo Wops Rallysprints without the car being 100% complete.  The roll cage was unpainted, and aside from that there were many other tasks that still need completion - there's still tons of work to do... exhaust, computer install, intercom, underbody bits, the list goes on!  Join us as we finish the first rally WRX Wagon to compete in the USA Rally series! - Jamie

extinguisher and rollbar padding installed

tool box and first aid kit are mounted to the floor

Grillcraft grill protection installed:

Installed is the full 3 piece Grillcraft kit in the lower grill/radiator area, upper main grill and in the hood scoop area. These powder coated steel grills will protect Burnsie's "guts" from small rocks, debris and mudflow.

Believe me, we expect to see a lot of each of those out there on stage!

Terratrip rally computer installation

Custom fit in place where the pass side airbag used to sit. Installation bracket was hand measured and made - dash was cut to fit the new wiring and bracket.  Clean, neat installation without exposing the wiring or having anything out of place.

Total installation took approx 2 hours time, including fabrication and wiring.
