Hello all . Some of you will remember Gavans" rally car . Years ago , he and I swapped cars . He got my white teardrop ( now the Pat Crea replica ) and I got his rally car that I had logbooked when I competed in the 2001 Alpine Rally (pictured )

The car had degraded somewhat since then and was a dark grey shell in my workshop . Paying work stops me from playing with my cars - until we had the year we had to have . This became my COVID project . Put on rotisserie , rust repairs, prime and paint underneath , interior, boot engine bay then it got too cold . Installed drivetrain , wiring , dash , seats , rollcage , then it warmed up . Prepare & paint exterior .
