Been doing this shell for the past few weeks on and off, its a gorgeous pearl orange that looks sexy in the sun, was a custom colour from Halfords. Stickers are off a Parma stock car decal sheet, the body had loads of work done to it, window rubbers removed, back end of roof gutters blended in, rear wings made seperate with brackets onto the shell. After visiting Mark(moosey) at the coast for the last couple of days, the shell is now wrecked. in the last pic are some stills from one of the rolls, we got some film so that will probably be in the next sand scorching movie from Moosey. A gorgeous shell now split in 5 places, but it was a reyt laugh! Loved it.

the wheels are CRP chrome covers on rough rider wheels, with aftermarket front tires(not sure what theyre for, had to trim the beads slightly to fit on the wheels right)

Nice work old boy. I think you guys need to take a trip to the states and run with us in California. Too cool, I can't wait to see the video.

Turned out brilliant Joe! I love the colour combo and all the mods you did on this one. Shame it's wrecked but the movies are always a nice momento long after the models are gone.

That is a simply sensational looking buggy.......great work.

The tyres look like Marui Hunter - however I cant quite make out the writing on the sidewalls. does it have good year printed on them?

Help - I am looking to restore and mod a couple of SS/RR with some period kit like this one any chance of some advice on what bits I need to look for?
