ive decided im going to cut my xr3 up and try making a replica of my estate road car in my sig so i will have some xr3 parts spare soon if anybody needs some parts,ive also got round to putting my gatebil escos back together just need to decide whether to leave as it is or get some decals made up to go on it,here it is with my other wrc road car
the dark blue car in the back ground needs wheels,it did have the wrc road car wheels from the gatebil car on them but albo had them as a swap for some merc dtm wheels which apparently got lost in the post

Sounds a good project,i can't see the pics here at work so will have to wait till i get home.
On a positive note after some of us being mugged off i received a model today which i bought from a member on here,a Mk 1 Escort twin cam
I already have one which i have left standard (didn't want to mess around with it) so the new one is inline for a set of rs 4 spokes,round headlights & RS2000 blue decals

I hope to make a start on the twin cam at the weekend or sooner so i can get the lights & grill sent off to you

arent twincams usually expensive? if so £25 is a bloody good price
fiestamad, bodykits are easy to make with the milliput, and usually you can just primer over it without needing filler (ive only done two cars with it and not needed filler yet)

The first twin cam i bought about 2 years ago i got at a modelzone in London in their sale from £50 to £25,as there rare i didn't mod it,but as ive got a 2nd one im happy to mod it.
