Corsa Maxi rally car

Over the last two years ive building a Corsa rally car after i sold my Nova i used to rally.

Ive finally got round to putting my progress up on here.

I found a nice shell in South Wales which you might have seen for sale on ebay.





This was on the way back to its new home!




thanks for looking

Rob

Seen that shell before, looks very nice and very well built!!!

Use photobucket instead and it will resize them for you when you upload them!!

Re: Corsa Maxi rally car

As ive had the car for a while ill post some pictures of the Corsa in its current state.

I bought a second hand dog box that needed a new casing, when i took the cluster out i found it needed a new 1st and 2nd dog gear, also a 1st/2nd dog selector!! So i gave the box a full rebuild
