I'm not allowed mike but the cars owner is as long as no rules are broken.
Thanks to jay for explaining the rules, it's good that this build can still be enjoyed by everybody though.

On the picture showing closely the right engine mount, isn't the turret badly welded ? Or is it just the picture/light making me think like this ?

And please tell me you're gonna put REAL WRC rear view mirrors !

Top car, looking forward to see more pictures of the rebuild !

Just a stitch weld, they dont sseam seal these cars so that's probably why it doesn't look overly healthy?

The welding on the car is all good, as above maybe just looks funny being stitched

That answers the 'staying yellow?' question nicely...

It will look mega in white!! Is it getting the same livery that the previous Escort had on it Jimbodino??

Looks bloody awesome.

Only thing I'm slightly disappointed to see is the lack of copper pipe work on the egr setup
