My Metro 6R4 rebuild ........

Rebuilding a Mini? Building a rally car? Making a Z Car from the Ground Up? Well, create a thread here, and keep us updated. It's a great way to track your own progress as you go along, and keep yourself sane! If you own a car, you can show it off here too.

I will never forget it , they were between stages on the San Remo Rally . again the late and great Tony Pond was driving one .

That Metro looks like John Moloney's Rallycross car, if I'm not mistaken....

I remember the great Rallycross battles, John Moloney, Matti Alamakki and Martin Schanche...

Group B rocks.. neighbour has a couple of group Band group 4 cars... fantastic..
