Finished at last! Best WRC ever

This car has been in my showroom before as a WIP, now it's finally finished.
I added the cockpit set, which is really a must have with these rally cars. Such a shame Tamiya discontinued these sets again! Because this is a short chassis and the rear body posts are placed above the rear wheels some extra holes needed to be drilled in the figure body.The cockpit set came all the way from Argentina (thanks Mcovalsk!).
I also added some extra lights from the Lancia 037. I had this idea for a while. However I never thought Tamiya made these headlights untill I saw KoenC's Lancia HF. I mounted the lights on with some double sided tape.
I actually wanted to have this car for quite a while. I never though I would ever find one for retail prices! A friend of mine found this body at his LHS and he also found a TA03FS with 206 body (Thanks Jeroen!). The 206 body has completely been messed up by the previous owner, the chassis looks very nice though.
I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do. Comments are welcome

Thanks guys, the extra lights are nice indeed. However because they are chrome and the normal headlights are decals it looks a bit strange from some angles.

That is astounding! nice job
Vin87
Thanks for all the nice comments! Grandmaster Sainz is driving it indeed! @ Renken 2000: Yes I'm a big Toyota fan but it's almost impossible to buy a Hilux in Holland because some guy named Patric is buying all the nice examples

This Toyota is my favourite rally car (hard to find). I only can agree with all comments, you did a nice work, mainly with the coscpit I sent, very well!!!!
RENKEN 2000

Thank you Rally Fan! I don't think any rallycar is complete without such a cockpit set.

I like this one a lot! I love the rally cars and this one is one of the better builds I've seen. I like the Lancia lights on the front. Well done!
