Look forward to the updates, was speaking to Tommy Field the other day and he said you must have 95% of the wrc parts ever made in your workshop

Thanks for posting Romain, I love to see all the details in these shells.
I had to laugh though when I saw those bloody vent holes in the original foot wells! It's nice to know that even builders of WRC spec cars have to deal with that as well as the rest of us mere mortals!
Make sure you keep us up to date as things progress.
Cheers
Iain
