Historic Motorsport Prep...
Discussion
I have a 1971 1275GT which is currently a rolling chassis.
I am considering doing a bit of hillclimbing, maybe even having a go at historic circuit racing.
As the car is already in a million bits, I reckon that it is as good a time as any to get the basic prep done.
Does anyone have a typical set of regs, or a list of the modifications that will be needed to ensure that the car would pass scrutineering for historic racing?
Any help would be appreciated.

I did a fair bit of sprinting and hillclimbing on motorbikes about ten years ago, so I know how much hanging about there can be.
Whilst the occasional hillclimb may be as far as I go, it makes sense to prep the car for historic circuit racing just in case I decide to try it.
I was thinking along the lines of a road legal, NA 5 port with about 100bhp, so nothing too extreme.
My main concerns were whether I need to make a firewall of the front and rear bulkheads, whether I need to plumb in an extinguisher and how extensive a cage is needed and whether it needs to be welded in.
