COMING: The Rally Beast

[Thmstec]

I know this is a really old thread, but any updates? Like climate on the 99, or what happened to this rally vehicross? Sounded like it was gonna be really sweet

Joe's taken some time off his many projects to focus on the building of his new house. I do believe this is near the top of his list when he resumes (post-building).

As John states I'm busy laying block since I've undertaken the entire process of building myself. I'll post up the last photos of gutting the interior when a chance as it may be good reference for others looking to get the dash out, but for now we just moved the Ebony to "project row" where it will be on hold until I have more time...

whoa.. Merkur's.. don't see many of those around..

[Joe_Black]

Yeah, I'm a bit of an XR4Ti/Sierra RS geek too. :bgwg: Two of those run great, but need all new suspension. One is an engineless shell destined for the rotisserie then rally, and the final two are in great shape but need serious engine work. Only one more to get a half dozen! Actually I'm just a real sucker for these and keep finding 'em on the cheap.

LOL, maybe we should have an informal competition to see who can identify everything in the picture?

Whoa, blasphemy! That is not a Jeep. I was thinking maybe a Mighty Mite?

Mighty Mite?!?! LOL, that's worse!
