Nice progress.

I was wondering: What's that grey pipe-mass in the back? What's the purpose of it?

Wow!!! Nice cars. I love to se that 935 . I have startet to think what my next project is going to be and im hoping to do the escort x-trac but if ist going to be that car i must build it all from scratch because i have not found any escort kits and i dont want to base it on a diecast kit in metal. i also kan study the car up close because my brother have on of these escorts in hes garage the one driven by terje morstad in the early 90s. But il see what to build

Nice Escort!

the car is finaly finnished..
