That red car behind looks awfully tall! Is it on a trailer or are you putting the body on a 4x4 chassis?

I've seen a few of those, the best around my way was an Escort XR3i body on a 4x4 chassis! That looked funny as hell!



I've been following this thread and what you are doing is something I've always wanted to do, the full strip down and rebuild of a 4x4. I have a DVD called 'A 4x4 is born' where the presenter and car enthusiast (I forget his name) starts from scratch with various Landrover and Rangerover parts and builds an off road vehicle. It's definitely worth a watch if you can find it.



Thanks,

Ray.

What's the theme overall going to be?
Another Dukes of Hazzard or all original but bigger or something else?

What colours are you going to spray the chassis and body?
