205 Stage Car Build (Hopefully!)

[muttleymart 0]

Hi chaps new to the forum, have browsed intensively, so thought i would start a build thread on my car build. Ive just got hold of a very cheap base model shell in remarkably rust free condition, only bit of drivers side inner wing wants replacing. I will post some pics up over the weekend so you can see what i have got, any help or encouragement will be very welcome.

Hope so! This is becoming a common scene with 205's, rust resto work is getting more and more involved. Is it a bade model shell then?

yep this inner wing is the only rust on it really is a 1.1 xl shell, cost me a drink so can complain, will be a lot of work but worth it in he end
