Default My new project/toy

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago so hopefully crack on with loads and loads of welding and bodywork

It's a fairly rare car just tying to decide what route to go

Looks pretty sound, although difficult to tell from the pics, is it a Gartrac shell, without the arches?
What's the plans for it?

It's a genesis shell and the original arches and wings got sold before I bought it,

It's pretty solid underneath but I'll know for sure when I take all the shit off, plans were to 4wd it but as its already setup for mk1/2 running gear I'm unsure on what to do yet

Body wise I was looking into the rs1700t kit or rs1600i rep

rs1600i would be more desirable i'd have thought and look a lot better.
