I did....  but ran into so many fit issues that i put it down for now I dont have permanent modeling area.  Im sure in time Ill pull it out and get to finishing it. So what going to be on this plate for the rally build? Rossi's Focus I think is what Im going to build and maybe a killler Bee.

Haven't been on the forums in a while, sorry!

Pretty sure I have some WRC kits in the stash as well.Will love to join - that date sounds like good timing to finish up the plastic I have on the table now... Btw, strictly WRC or will a Dakar car work as well? Won't necessarily go that way, just asking.

Also - are we going to put this one in the GB forums or leave it here?

O/T: Ironically, re the Endurance GB - was planning to take some pics of the finished bodywork (bar mirrors, "hook loops" and rear wing) but kept putting it off because I need some supplies for better background. I think all that remains there is to add the body to the chassis, CF plates below the sides and then the attachment of the finerbodywork. Oh and brakes and wheels... It was slow going!Not the kit's fault...

I can't wait, took a look at the Hase Corolla I got and it comes with photoetched buckles and dimensions for belts, looks to be an awesome kit, I can't wait to put it together.

 Matthew,

   it would be pretty cool to have a FSM person build with us and it be his first GB.  I myself am leaning the Focus way.  Building a couple of Ford's that i dont have means I get to go shopping. However the 206 is getting a good look because of all the PE out there for them

Hmmm...

I've never participated in a GB before, but I do have two Subarus in the driveway.

Well, that, and LOTS of Tamiya Impreza kits in my stash.

I may have to count myself in on this one...

Whoops! "Hit the dirt"??

What about snow, mud, gravel, tarmac?

Gotta a rally around here called SNO-Drift. Ran In January and almost always on snow and ice.Pretty cool. Used to be SCCA sanctioned. Haven't been in a couple of years but I know it still runs.

Dustin-Glad there is some interest here.  I'm going to wait until I can clear up a few other projects before I commit, but I am interested.

On that note, can we stick a fork in the Endurance GB?  I'm ok with that-if you decide to end that one, I can move the C6R over to the 'No More Excuses' GB for unfinished projects.

Just let me know.

Bob

This sounds great! I have driven rally few years for while a go. ;-)

WRC for manufactures started at 1970 and for drivers 1979. Could the car be from that era? And should the car be works car or could it allso be private teams car?

WRC is rally cars?

If so I have a few in my stash, so I'd join in to show some support for autos.
