Been to have a look at a Talbot Sunbeam tonight and decided to buy it. ;D Picking it up saturday morning. 2.0 pinto and type 9 five speed. Front billies with princess 4 pots. Also got forest arches. Strange bit though is the fact that they have grafted a mk4 XR3i front bumper and a nissan micra back bumper onto it ;D. Sounds fecking terrible to be honest but actually when you see it its not that bad. Also running on wide weller 8 spokes with knobblies on. Couldnt resist it for the money. Just not sure what I am gonna do with it yet though. Also the bloke I bought it off is currently fitting a Honda S2000 engine into his three door sierra rally car. He is also the same bloke who used to rally a subaru 1800GLF estate car ;D ;D

I have never gone past this yet and hopefully I will have sold one by the weekend when I collect it. ;D yer Dave (TCC) came with me to have a look at it. When the bloke described it it sounded horrendous he even admitted that he would never have dreamt of doing it but he had took it as a part ex. It also has a roof spoiler bonnet bulge big spotlights and is bright yellow with checks ;D ;D ;D He has also took a grp 4 zetecced mk2 escort as a part ex he wants 6,500 for that

MEGA!!Sounds different, be a bit of a handful with the knobblies on the road *cough* I am so wanting that starion to add to my 80`s RWD coupe collection but I am too skint to bid. Get it bought and make it 14!!

I should really stick to scalextric it would be easier and cheaper to own every car I have ever wanted ;D

Anyway buying this balances it up. As that makes three 70`s & 80`s rwd rally slags and three 80`s rwd coupes.
To be honest I don't think I will keep it. I will probably just put it straight on ebay. (at least thats what the wife thinks ;D)

Sounds interesting, I'd be interested to see pictures of it when you get it, partly because I'm struggling to imagine how it looks with those bumpers grafted on, especially if you say it looks good. We already know the wheels look cool, seeing as they're Wellers there's no question! ;D

I am struggling to remember it to be honest might have to dabble with photoshop and see what I can come up with ;D

Ah I see, so it's just a little bit Frankenstein's rally car then? ;D

Something like this from the front but with black checks on the back wing. The sunken style front lights and big spotlamps ;D

Blimey, does sound a bit Frankensteinish. ;D Ah well you can always sort that later if you decide to keep it.
