HI, I just saw this car for sale and I thought it could be a good rally car... It has 212000km and a good mechanic. Some body work to do. I'm going to see it this week, any advice?
 
The good thing is that there are tons of parts for this car and several motors will fir in it. There are still parts left in the scrap yards so you can run it for pretty cheap. A good rally car has to be strong though, so be really careful with the body. That is to say, make sure that it really is good. It's no fun to crest a jump and then when you land the car breaks in two!
Jon Nichols and a host of others (our own Pat Leonard, Ben from Camo and lots of others) are still using this chasis with very good results.
Go for it!
P.S. make sure you budget for it though, as many people here can tell you; racing is expensive!
