Mogsmex 0 Posted September 26, 2002 Hi, I've seen these shells about in lexan, but after a thorough search of the net have not been able to find a manufacterer I'm currently restoring a real mexico, so would really like one of these as a mini project !! Any ideas anyone Cheers Glyn......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazmeister 0 Posted September 26, 2002 I'm your man for these shells and they are 1/12 scale to fit the Mardave V12 chassis. You can have it in lexan or vac formed white abs £5.00 abs, £8.50 lexan. If you really want something impressive I can do you a 1/8 scale MK1 Escort in ABS for £15.00 which we use for Hot Rod racing but can be adapted for a 1/8 TGX chassis.

k_bojar 0 Posted October 24, 2002 Would this body - but some chance - fit one of the M-Chassis?? I have a M03 and a M02, and I think it would look pretty awesome on it If so, would you be able to ship to the US????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiggusDitchus 38 Posted October 24, 2002 Dazmeister what other shells can you do for the V12. Do you produce them or do you have a supplier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellbelly 1 Posted October 24, 2002 Actually, I would really like to know if they fit an M-Chassis. Daz - are these the same as the ones from Hot Rods in W-S-M? Ta Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazmeister 0 Posted October 24, 2002 The Escort is similar to Hot Rods one but is different. I am not 100% sure of fitment to an M-Chassis mini but it just might fit. Other shells avaliable for v12 are : Pug 205 Ren Clio 16v Ren Clio V6 Toyota Starlet MK1 Golf MK1 Escort MK2 Escort RS2000 New Beetle BMW E36 Coupe Merc C Class DTM Ford Mondeo Lincoln Alfa 155 DTM Thunderbird Jaguar XJ6 Rover P5 MG Magnet Ford Granada Austin Westminster Wolesly 6/110 Wolesly 6/110 Hearse Jaguar XJ6 Limo (long wheelbase req) Daimler Majestic Email me : sand_scorcher_man@hotmail.com Daz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k_bojar 0 Posted October 30, 2002 Is there anyplace where pics of these bodies are available?? I could very well be interested in a few Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazmeister 0 Posted November 1, 2002 No pics as yet but I am trying to have a painted version of each one as an example. Best to mail me off the board and tell me which ones your interested in. Daz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retro 0 Posted November 2, 2002 I have the Escort mk1 and Capri shells, I tried them on my M-02 chassis a while back but they didn't fit, unfortunately. Daz, have you changed the mould for the Escort? Mine is the same as the one in your picture, but I've seen a different lexan one with a front spoiler on. I'd quite like a lexan one, but prefer the straight front. It's not on the list, but is the VW Camper Van one of yours too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazmeister 0 Posted November 3, 2002 http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=3559&id=91 Just painted this one up in metalic purple to look like a road car. This Escort is the evolution of the flat front which I do not think we have the mould for anymore but Hotrods Southwest62 copied it and still sell with some nice decals. The VW camper was a HPI shell and I think Hotrods do this in ABS for only £5, I used to have one on my Lunchbox and it looked superb ! Daz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
