the preparation work involved is beyond belief. Even the factory origin parts took many hours of work before they were used, humours are the bodyshell, wings etc were acid dipped to thin them & make them lighter. Then i could list pages of stuff which were handmade specially for the BTCC cars

Starting to understand why they cost so much bloody money then. Wish they were still in it. Its all Vauxhall or Bm wins that I've seen. Maybe a little Seat. Gets boring watching the same win over and over.

Thanks Fandango - I have seen it and in fact I was the one that photographed it before I even know who's it was. His is what got me started on this and made my buy a white estate t5! However, as he admits, his decals are not quite right and I am looking to try and make mine more like the ones in the thumbnails in page 1 of this thread as his look bob on!

Thanks for the info thou!

Thank you, glad you like her

I'm redoing the front bumper soon to make it look closer to the real thing. The next plan is to get the engine closer to the touring car output!
