Still looking very cool.

Any updates? Killing me waiting for the reveal ☺

Sorry but no I still haven't finished it.  I've been a bit side tracked with all my Cobra builds.

I know how easy that is. I have dozens! 

I have just picked one up off of ebay and your build is inspirational. I will be going with an autocross/hotrod oval racer theme, where just about any modification goes. Wings,wheels bodywork etc.Should be fun ☺

This gives you some idea of the power of the Rallycross cars ☺ -https://youtu.be/OZmQmHZTEWE

Some great '77 RAC Rally action my friend dublin boy forwarded to me.  No doubt a subtle reminder that I haven't yet completed this build.

I thought I remembered this video, I marshalled on that 1977 RAC Rally, but on a forest stage! Great memories! Imagine the car sounds on a track half the width with tall trees up to the edge of the track, awesome!
