Have just started my own little tribute to one of the greatest Antipodean rally drivers - arguably the greatest ever. This is what I am hoping to achieve:

I am intending to use the chassis of the Rally GB (rally interior, suspension and wheels) with the body of the STi kit. The interior will not be 100% accurate, but closer than using the standard interior! Of course, I will need to convert to RHD - maybe I can use the dashboard of the STi kit. Hmm... have to look at that. Also, I think the ride height will be close to that of Rally Australia (one of the options of the Studio 27 decal kit, and my intended livery) and the gravel wheels are correct.
I have a few reference photos for the interior, but if anyone has some good links please let me know.
Looks like the bodies of the two kits are nearly identical, apart from the obvious changes for the WRC spec - but things such as wheelbase are identical which helps. Have just started preparing the body for some paintwork. Will post some progress pics soon.
Cheers,
Pots.
