Gartrac would buy a brand new shell from Ford without a sunroof and then pull the thing to pieces and re-build it! The shells are seam welded and the inner wings are triple skinned amongst other things!!!
They were then all put on Q plates just like any other track built car would be!

Tiff yes a nerve hit you coont
I dinnt know that! quality stuff tho brilliant rst i mean gartrac rst!!

Spadge - Congrats on your latest purchase mate. Car looks very nice.
There will never be an end to this 'is it an RST, on the log book, engine, shell etc etc etc debate regardless whether you or I think our cars are or not. People on the internet make their own rules up...with that I say let them say whatever they want.
At the end of the day as long as your happy with what you say it is...thats what really counts.

You may laugh but it is??????

I dont need to read all the pages because it had been featured when I was looking into it.

I even drove it so I know it was quick then and yes it has had 2/3 engine changes since then. It was 4 years ago and half the price....

think ya will find its not a erst at all mate, it never was, it was bought as a new shell with out a sunroof, its got a erst body kit on it but if i had a rs500 sticker on my cossie it wont be a rs500

the log book states what the car it, its just like a xr3i with a turbo engine, its not a erst, its a xr3i with a turbo engine


but ill still think of it as a erst

TOTB doesnt have a RST team....it's Ford FWD but it would of been good if it could of entered.

Eitherway...I think you should get the timing gear on there and do a top speed run....would be interesting to see.

Ginge surely instead of acting like a 12 year old on here your time would be better spent taking some adult education classes
