That's a pretty cool little thing, bet it's a lot of fun.
Saying that, I don't think I would do it to a genuine FRP. If I was building a lairy one, I would start with a cooking shell and fit the S1600 panels instead, as they're even madder.
I do love an old car. 80s/90s hot hatches really were the coolest!
Couple of my old cars first.
Escort 1.6S (RS2000 rep apart from the bonnet):
I know it's a saloon, but it was retro and awesome. Orion 1600E:
Some random ones...
My friend's Delta HF 4WD:

Looks absolutely brilliant Mark. You need to get some proper pictures, bonnet open, all that jazz.
You also need to take me out for a spin in it when it's done!
Thanks bud. I might have missed this, but do you have a link to where you got it from? What are it's rough dimensions? Would be interesting to have a measure and if it would fit where I'd like to put it!
No the weather was blinkin' awful at times. I had just left Tony and was walking back to the car when it absolutely chucked it down. Got soaked to my skin!
As I say, the 197 looked great, you've done a beautiful job on it. Seemed right in the mix too.
I do really like this car, looks great.
Battery looks interesting. Would be good to see how you get on with it. I need a little battery for my rally car but have no idea what to go for.
On-track pictures next.

Popped along to Snetterton on Easter Sunday to see the Tricolore Trophy boys in action. Had a good chat with @Tony Hunter (nice to meet you) and a few other Clio racers whose names I didn't get. Also saw the 197 that @Russ Rallye built which seemed to go very well.
As well as the TT, there was...
I wouldn't do it on a road car. If it's a mad lairy track car or race car then I think you can get away with it, but I think it's a bit much for a road car.
Lovely cars chaps. 2118s look so so good on these. Mark, yours makes me want to paint bits of mine a funny colour!
Yes but blue is better than silver lol.
The Sunflowers have one, so do the Racing Blues and even the Arctic Blues...
...why are Mondials being left out?
I shall start with my dented ex-daily/track car, currently in hibernation waiting for me to find the time to turn it into a proper track car...
Where are the rest of...
These have grown on me a lot recently. Whilst I like the 306, I'd take the Megane all day long. If it was a standard GTI-6 it might be different, but that's just because of my weird attitude towards forced induction on normally aspirated hot hatches lol.
Meg looks good in red. Would ditch the...
Love it. I really like it in saloon form as well, looks really aggressive. I think it's carried over to the latest version too, I would have an M3 over an M4. The wide arches just look really good on a four door body in both cases.
Nice purchase!
Harsh man, there was still SOME paint left, which surely made them a solid 1/10 lol.
Glad they came out ok, amazing how bad they were really! I should have had them done myself really but I am way too lazy lol.
