Hi all

This ones a bit of a change from the 50's stuff that I've been building this year. It's the Tamiya Eggenberger RS500 kit together with the interior from the Sierra XR-4i. Pretty much OOB except for lowered suspension & BBS wheels. Colour is Ford Diamond white from Zero paints.

Wheels are nice. I built the Texaco Eggenberger car a few years ago. I have the XR4Ti in the stash. Both great Tamiya kits.

For 17 years I worked in a European auto shop. People would bring these in for me to work on. I'd tell them "I don't work on Ford cars". They'd get all bent outta shape and leave. Reason being is I worked on a friends XR4Ti and that thing was a PITA.

He didn't like changing oil and the turbo went up. Then the electrics went all wonky. I told him to bring it to someone else less our friendship be strained.

But I'll say this. That model is really fetching. And I did get to drive it when I initially fixed [read replaced with a rebuilt] turbo. That car was darned quick and comfy to boot.
