Made A Couple Of Ebay Purchases

[Chilihook 51]

Just picked up a pretty well-used Fox and NIB Ford Focus TT01 rally car.

The Fox is the resto project I mentioned in the Christmas thread earlier. It has all the parts to make it go, but needs a front end repair, tires, and I'm sure a bunch of other things. Any suggestions on how and where to get started (other than cleaning it REALLY well) would be appreciated. My goal with this car is to make it a runner, but a really clean one.

So I guess over the next few months, I'll be looking around for the parts that I'll need. Once I go through the car, I'll post to see if any one has anything for sale or trade.

I'm looking forward to assembling the Focus... haven't built a car in YEARS. I have also never built an on-rad car. Is there anything that is really different from a buggy? Motor recommendations, etc.?

Thanks!

TT01 is very straight forward. You wont have any problems with the assembly. Sport tuned motor and some speed tuned gears will set you straight. 58 spur and 23 pinion should be ok for decent speed and run time.
