Thank you Yeah, if you do give it to your son, ask him for a project thread, as I love Sierra rally cars. And the Cologne is a great lump IMO. But in all honesty an rs2000 mk5 lump would be better in that shell IMO. You won't have to modify the tunnel or the front chassis rails, it's lighter, more revvy, and is a strong lump, for the same power. I have one... but don't even need it anymore
