I love these videos, great job. No one really tells you about building rally cars. it's just like it needs a cage to the specs and it needs this and that, but this is really in depth. I like it
Regarding seam welding - is it typical to do this before or after the cage? I am currently in the process of having an FIA cage installed into an '06 Subaru and was planning to do seam welding after to have the cage help in resisting any heat distortion. Does the order matter? Is the Fiesta being a newer, more rigid chassis a factor? I've asked the cage builder to hit any seams I won't be able to access with the cage in place (the A-pillar bar to front strut extensions, primarily) but was planning to do the seams myself after the cage is in, additional brackets/weld-nuts, then complete the prep/prime/paint.
Check out th-cam.com/video/bj7EjaSNDfw/w-d-xo.html but you're on the right track, probably just do anything you won't be able to reach before/during the cage install, then finish up after.
You can shoot us an email at info@teamoneil.com and we'll get right back to you. We get the kits imported from England so have to work with the current exchange rate and shipping etc.
Yes, IF they are the 2 door based, R1/R2 (and of course, even the R5) versions, they brought them into the states as 'body in white' unibodies. HOW they can ever get them registered/insured here as street legal cars, which they must be in order to compete in stage rallying (because of the open public road transits between stages), is a mystery to me???
Rally cars are all built from standard unibody cars with VIN numbers, as they all have to be street legal with license plates in order to compete. This one competes here in the US, Canada, and has been to the World Championships in Mexico as well. We've been building them for over two decades now.

***** sweet!
Thank you Team O'Neil Rally School. Very good visual and information on how to get started with this type of project.
LOL! I tripped out so hard when I saw him eating while he was explaining the cage 😂
No coffee mug holder?
Tks, good job. Its a shame you cant build tube chassis. I've done both, so much easier on build & repair on tubing.
what an effort, don't crash it

A true dream is to be able to afford to build a rally car and have enough property to play with it on.
not seam welds, those are stitch welds.
is there a link you can give to where to purchase the rally car kit?

how much $ ? and how many work hours?
Where do you get a Fiesta in USA....This is only in Europe right.
keithrobichaux Bro, where have you been? The Fiesta has been in the states for ages. Its the Ford Fiesta, Ford buddy, go to your local Ford dealer
Ive been driving a silver Fiesta SE for 3+ years and I live in Canada
I've been driving a Fiesta ST for almost two years now, I HOPE it is a 'real' car! LOFL!!

Not the 2-door hatch.....

Rally cars are built from scratch and very expensive. Is this a joke or some kinda fly by night operation?
