WOW!

 

That is much much better then i expected for that year car.

 

The passenger compartment did not deform at all. Steering wheel is gonna hurt but its made for that deflection.

 

Jump seats are suicide seats in essence.

Don't forget about the primitive "airbag" sitting on the engine... :)

 

It didn't look like the dummies were belted in. Not so sure how the rear seat passengers would fare... sitting backwards their backs would take the brunt of the hit, but I imagine that the recoil with only a lap belt would be brutal.

 

All in all, I was amazed at how well it stood up, I always wondered.

hmmm, i think i will get them harnesses in sooner than i first thought, my steering wheel sits closer than that, cause its a deep dish sparco, and its on a diff hub, and its a bit more solid

 

oh well, it done alot better than i thought! looks pretty solid almost!

 

glad to see im not driving a complete death trap then! :P
