That's looking GREAT!!
535mm wheelbase?

I can just imagine the Rothmans MkII blasting around.
Just needs the Ford 4-spoke alloys and we're away !!

How's the mounting? It appears to be resting ON the normal side mounts.

That's it.
Obviously it's not the 4-twin spoke alloys, but thick multi-spoke.

VERY NICE!!

Next is to get the light pods to suit it as well, and do an RAC Rally night version!!

a team van you crazy fool

Stuff the MkI, the MkII Flatfront's THE Essie for me - had them topping 275BHP with Vatinenen if I remember before they finished - DAMNED DECENT!!

OK, if you're open to ideas, how about some new options on TRUCK bodies - don't know if the Monster Jam ones are copywrited, if not .... BATMAN is pretty neat!!

Cars?
A DECENT Ford GT40, not the one that's been available, painted red/white - lines not crisp enough!!

Sorry Alan the mk2 is good but for me the mk1 rs 2000 with the teardrop arches is just the car of all cars, I had a list of cars i wanted to own as a boy.....from xr2s up to 3dr cosworth and the only one I haven't owned yet is a mk1 rs2000 and I don't think I ever will now with price tags of over £30,000 so if spitfire can work his magic then there might be a chance of owning an fg 1/5th scale one :w00t::w00t:

[charlieboy]

Also found these drawings from another site of a guy building a 1/5 mk1 out of wood, couple of the numbers are missing but this is the best I could find




If it ain't broke, bash it till it is

 

[atom3624]

Naah, MkII's defo better !!

I'd love to see the Ascona as well - that was a really nice car. I remember dicing with the 'homologation special' in Spain, in my 205 GTi 1.9 22 years ago ..... good fun!!
