I got the new shell for group4 historic about 2 years ago James, it sat in Dominic's garage, then a certain southern rallycross driver wanted to try historic rallycross so it is getting built for him, the idea came along to build it the same as the old zakspeed shell dominic had lying, He hope's to have it running an finished in about 2 weeks so will get better pictures of it on its wheels then

I am not much of a holiday person frank, am here only to keep the wife happy,I don't like to much heat,weather has been very hot,until today,few clouds today but still dry ,sun and warm.
Mk2 was lookin good last day I called in for a look at it,Dominic and the boys were all flat out working on it to get er finished, I made a joke with Dominic ref how fast its been built,that mine won't take to long to build lol...

Thanks Steven..
