Been thinking about what to do with my old 3 door cossie shell as I managed to purchase a brand N O S shell from oak fields last year to reshell my road car so have the old one sat in the garden doing nothing.

My old shell really isn't that bad and I will be using it for track only so not bothered if it's had welding done ( reason I reshelled my old one as this shell needs welding)

I have been going over some of the old bcc threads and I really fancy the Caltex rep for me mainly Paul's NYS fault as I love his one.

Mine won't be mint, it's literally going to be built to abuse but will be a full Caltex 500 rep with a stage 3 yb.

Would love to know what you guys think.

Cant see why not.
Always change colours if dont like it, but think would be good to see

Whats the point is been done & done very well. Dont copy create your own design.

This car and the Dick johnson cars are my fav of all time

I was lucky enough to go meet Mike newman ( driver and owner of the above Listerine car ) and see the car in the flesh

I felt like a little kid sitting in it

pee vee

Proper texaco one I reckon.. Not seen one for ages, and never seen one n track.
Or the kaliber one.

don't worry i think most would and proudly admit it

Would love to build myself a track 3dr but finding a base model 3 door sierra is a little hard these days

heres my kaliber rep rich,although its now sitting in storage covered in dust awaiting a rebuild



god only knows when that might happen lol

3drRich

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm not 100% on what livery yet but I prefer the Caltex the most. I also like the labatts.

The red and white on the Caltex even the red inners of the wheels does it for me

I love the kaliber too. What's the story with this James? Wanna sell it

3drRich

Thanks for the link Paul. Not sure what it is but just think the Caltex one stands out more. The rest are quite bare if that makes sense.

P S don't fancy Ian's latest shell then?

original 500 bumper ,all fibreglass doors bonnet ,tailgate .and i got a tremec tko600 off the chap aswell


it s the same shells that the 500 racecars were built on rich

3drRich

Meant to be mate. Lol. I thought about trying to find one maybe built but it's a shame as I have a gen cossie shell sat there. Plus the guy I use for all my steel work on jobs is semi retired and he loves cossies so said he would happily seam weld it for me and put the cage in etc for something to do

Just be careful with the identities if you officially did the last reshell properly with DVLA, then the old shell you have would be hard to put on the road legitimately as in effect 2 cars would have the same identity.

3drRich

The road car has been reshelled using a genuine new old stock 909 unstamped sunroof shell so will be done right. The old shell when built is purely for track use and will be trailered to and from events.

Ians Shell on ebay was mine mate , I sold it back to him as i had a change of plan

3drRich

3drRich

go for it mate, proper cool whichever you decide imo.
ive got all the btcc on vhs with the rs500s in
if i had to choose id say caltex i think.

3drRich

Thanks mate. Caltex seems to be the one that stands out the most although i just been looking at the I C S ones and they look smart.

Anyjoy with your mate who has the gt30 for sale? I did reply on another thread but didn't here anything.

thebronze

Do the Eggenburger or the DJR .....

3drRich

Not keen on the DJR to be honest. Any pics of the eggenburger car as i cant seem to see one

3drRich

Yeah i just found it mate. Prob is the texaco one has been done alot but i do like it.

brad

If you wrap it you can change the style as often as you like, texaco one year and caltex the next etc etc and once your bored of big graphics you can strip it off and have a nice clean normal 3dr again.

3drRich

Really taking a shine to this one now

Brock Mobil 1 or the B&H would be a good choice you dont see a lot of.
