Default Me and my new Gp4 Mk2 are back! (PICS!)

Well, following a 21 hour round trip me and the new toy are back. More pics to come but trust me, I love it and the fabrication is better than what I've seen on Gartrac built cars. It is awesome and well worth the money!
Proper chuffed, now all I've gotta do is get in painted in the Gulf colours and I can start to build it. Love it.
Andy

will do soon buddy, they're having the centres painted in Orange to match the new paintjob at the mo, and this car has a tubbed back end so I can run 10 inch wide rears.

Very nice indeed Andy

Selling the EsCos (once its back up and running) and using the money to start competing in a MK2 is still in the back of my mind.

Get a resto thread started so we can all follow the build progress of this beast

Andy,

Where did you get that shell from? I've got a funny feeling it might be my brothers old one. Does the log book say white as original colour?

Is that the one you bought originally or is it the one that came up after you bought another?

yes mate, 10's on the road, but only 8's for rallying due to the regs. I'm only gonna doa few events in it, nothing to dangerous, I'm a dad now and my wife won't be navigating anymore.

Monster, ah, I think you were the guy they were taliking about.

Alex, pop over dude

Blue Smoke, yeh, it's the one I've wanted for ages but have only just been able to afford. SD Developments are a new company who are the biz at fabricating. More pics up tonight.

Car looks good Andy. My boss has been building his new rally car, full cage, tubbed, five or four linked im not sure etc etc etc but built to the proper grp4 manual spec anyway. 2 litre xe motor with 45's i think looks a lot like yours hes almost got it finished and hes talking about selling it im trying to convince him not to.( the skinny minilites were just to get it rolling)


Its gonna be used as a forest car and he was gonna make a replica of this..
