Bag of sh ite, who put them stripes on, Stevie Wonder?

[Frosticles]

Sits nice. That's about it for me.

[Leckypete]

The stripes look ok in classic ford mag (it's in December edition) think overall it looks good but in mag they say has Mexico stripes, would think they should know they are rs2 style?
Agree that dash pod really spoils it for me though, probably done on cost reasons as expect would have had 2 clock dash originally.

does cage go through original dash, gauge pod looks like something out of a national hot rod it would look different flocked black filled with smiths classic gauges. Everybody builds cars to suit themselves if all cars were exactly the same it would get boring.

I looked round it at FF

dash is total shit , the rest of the car was OK but nothing special

[windymiller]

Dash is gash! Are the arches right? Looks a funny shape ahead of the rear wheels?

[cortinabully]

that car looks crap in a crap photo. dash was biult to be different as all rs cars look the same, and all his own work apart from top coat of paint, all in a normal size garage ,how many mk1 s and 2 s out there are all the owners work, if you got the money its easy to buy a top car but for a first try not even knowing how to weld i would say its pretty good,there are lots of mint cars out there but there all the same,

I built YUE myself but then again, I am a Genius
