MonkeyDucky 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Hi all, Have recently returned to the hobby after 25 years or so after my wife bought me a Hornet kit for my recent birthday. Never built my own as a kid - my dad built a Schumacher Cougar for me which I took racing briefly as a young-teen. However, after building the Hornet I'm now hooked and looking at additional purchases to expand the fleet! I definitely have Blackfoot, the mkII Escort and now the newly released mkVI escort on my list for the future, but have just won a fair example of an FF02 Peugeot 306 Maxi WRC on eBay. Chassis seems in reasonable condition by all accounts (don't pick it up until this evening), but the body has seen better days - it has had a fibreglass repair to the front and is in overall 'well-used' condition. Ideally, I'd like to buy a replacement shell that will simply be a straight fit. Not concerned about it being a 306, would be happy to put something else on. I'm a bit of a Ford nut so Focus would be ideal but will consider other nice-looking alternatives (Tamiya or non-Tamiya). I've spent some time trawling through the forum, other sites and the web in general and have only found limited info (mainly old posts). Are any of you experts able to advise of any off-the-shelf and readily-available alternative shells that are a perfect fit for the FF02 chassis? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtcc5 4896 Posted January 25, 2021 Any shell for the TT01 and TT02 should fit. The real fwd bodies that are actually available are mostly a little boring. Like the Jas Civic. You could go for the JTCC Vectra or the Castrol Civic. Also available are the 24h Golf and the Scirocco. A fwd Ford is not available as far as I know.

MonkeyDucky 3 Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks. So any of those 190mm x 257mm bodies would fit? Saw a nice Mondeo in that list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If its the 90s Mondeo, I have that ready to paint for my FF04, cost me a fortune in shipping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
