TA05 with upgrade pack - finally finished

I bought this is June 2010 as I planned to go racing again but as usual it never happened. I'd built the chassis pretty much straight away but never finished the body.
As i'd sold a few models recently my shelves were looking bare again so decided to have another crack at it over the easter weekend. Always liked the Xsara when they did the WRC and back in 2002 ish I used to race a HPI with a Parma Xsara shell on (still in my showroom) so that was the reason for the shell. This was a lovely kit to build but you dont have get some left overs. As they supply a standard TA05 chassis kit then put the upgrades in so when you build it you have all the standard kit left over . My kit box is just as full now as before I started !! Not sure what to do with this as I doubt i'll run it... seams an expensive waste to sit on the shelf though (bet we can all say that about em)
