It was re shelled with a brand new shell years ago (can't you read? 1st post 1st paragraph!!!!), I really don't care if the battery tray was cut at that time or not, the second fuel rail clears without. My car will never please the purists as its 4x4
But then it will never be for sale so who cares?

Was going to but I fancied a 500 plate, it can still go back on its original plate at any time though.

The original road RS500s used a standard 3dr cosworth shell, as this one was reshelled later in life it uses a 909 replacement road shell which were made in 1989 these have a number of subtle differences from the 1986 shells, which are mainly updates from the mk2 sierra such as different fuse box hole, smaller hole for the boot light and lower rear tow eye.

Yes cool plate.
I do like the wheels, but they are very motorsport... and I think the split rim type wheel that Paul and Brammer and Carlo run just suit road cars alot better.

all the arches have now been rolled due to mr h getting 18" wheels for it
sides have all been sprayed with a good coat of spray filler to get rid of any ripples as its a black car it needs to be verry flat
then its a good guide coat so it is easier to make flat before primer
