Ive driven them a few times, surely the evo must have had a puncture or something ?
The videos never do the actual car speed any justice though.
After spending far too many valuable seconds trying to accellerate up hill on gravel i decided that 4wd was the better option
much better fun than messing about on circuits.

Good stuff
I see my shell dolly is still going strong lol
Look forward to seeing the new shell take shape, is there any changes to the engine or drive train due when you swap it all over?

Nice example for an old dutch car not too bad with all the salt on the roads we have
I have seen alot worse on my own car for example Escort mk3 from apr '83 looks awful compared with this mk2.
Good luck with the build up
