Hi all,

Everything is confirmed with shipping, I wasn't able to get it on the first boat but it's been picked up from it's owner and now in dock storage until the 20th of this month and will arrive in Adelaide on the 2nd of November. There's some photos from the ad below.

Next up is sorting out how wide I'm going to need to make the MK1's shell, the specs for the XR4x4 are for a 1453mm front track and 1468mm rear track. Does anyone know whether this is to the centreline of the wheel/tyre or hub face? The tarmac Escort WRC has a 1530mm track front and rear as far as I'm aware (please correct me if I'm wrong, I believe WRC cars of the era were allowed to have a wheel track between 1530mm and 1570mm) and would presume this to be measured to the centreline of the wheel/tyre as it is with most race cars. The reason for this is I intend on ordering a set of Escort WRC replica wheels ASAP and using spacers to move the wheels out as far as required to match the tarmac Escort WRC track and set the inner/outer arches etc to cover them while putting the shell together.
