yeah, will keep progress pics up :)
if i can find a decent enough paint match, it will have 2 new doors and a new boot.
the main thing is that it is mega solid underneath :)
Looks much shinier now, are you keeping the wheels that are on it? I reckon they'd look cool in grey/black too.

Was gonna say that looks a dog but it has come up really well with T-cut. So my reply is now. Wow that looks really sweet!
looks quite old skool, I guess due to the colour. Looks like some sort of Max Power feature car circa 1997..LOL
Not this one is it?

Dunno what the reg was, but that was in Max Power 1998/9ish IRC.

I wasnt referring to any feature in particular, just that it looked like a kindof timewarp feature car...
It couldve been in Max Power going by the styling, if you get me?

It was part of the Saturday Club (on RB years ago)
Guy that owned with friends with Grom (Pepe) and Flush. The WRC (Ross) owned it for a while.
Belive it has inverted track rod ends (geek alert)
Shame about all the visible Rot. Cav GSI rims sprayed to match the bumpers would look moody.

the thing is, the visable rot is the only rot on it!
is mint underneath!
