cheers mate. i'm 90% decided on standard. i am lucky i have a choice on shells so will still have a cossie. thought something different would be good. to be honest i could get it done as most parts that i haven't already got i can source. seats etc are rare in perfect condition but i can work round that. i have got nearly all other interior parts and the running gear is easily sourced. i have this vision of 2 cars side by side, same colour but 1 of them standard / 1 cossie.will try to persuade my son to paint his car the same colour so will also have cossie rally car aswell. i think that would be a cool collection. won't get carried away though, realistically it will take a couple of years. buying the shells is the easy part as anyone who has rebuilt / restored any car will know. gonna concentrate on rally car first.
