Awsome car, so what power is this one going to produce, spent ages yesterday just watching the old WRC/group A rally stuff. Wish rallying was still like that.

On the picture showing closely the right engine mount, isn't the turret badly welded ? Or is it just the picture/light making me think like this ?
And please tell me you're gonna put REAL WRC rear view mirrors !
Top car, looking forward to see more pictures of the rebuild !

Just a stitch weld, they dont sseam seal these cars so that's probably why it doesn't look overly healthy?

The welding on the car is all good, as above maybe just looks funny being stitched

That answers the 'staying yellow?' question nicely...
It will look mega in white!! Is it getting the same livery that the previous Escort had on it Jimbodino??
