HELP Needed, I want to step 20yrs back in History
 

Hi Guys,

I hope someone can help.

20years or so ago I had my much loved Cougar and I bought a Rally Car Style body for it. The body was an 1/8 scale "Ford XR2 Wide Bodied Sytle" Rally bodyshell. (the 1/8 scale wide style fit lovely over the wheels of the Cougar)

I got it from The Manchester Model Shop on Deansgate which then became Modelzone.

I have decide I want to relive my youth and build the car again, This time using the SX3 or DEX210 chassis.

HELP - I cannot remember who the bodyshell was made by, It began with a 'P' and I am sure they could have been an American Company?? :confused: I don't have the Part Number either.

Question - Does anyone where I can source another body from?

Has anybody got one?

I hope this has the vintage guys thinking on this one, I really desire to build another..... HELP :confused: :thumbsup:

Think it would have been Parma ?

I've got a Schumacher Sierra Saph Cosworth shell painted in blue. It's used but not too bad. It was from the Bosscat Sport I think. I put it in the for sale section.

Any good?

Hi guys thanks for reply, PARMA !!! Thats it cheers, No I need to find the body lol.

I will have a look at the Cosworth now cheers?:thumbsup:

You can still get PARMA bodies on Ebay and a good alround choice from tourers to Cadillacs.

Ive painted a few, Cadillacs come in 3 parts bonnet, cab and boot then you join the three together with double sided tape.

Very good detail and quallitiy PARMA bodies :thumbsup:

I've got a couple of 235mm buggy bodies.

One is an American muscle car, the other is a Peugeot 306 Rally. I keep meaning to paint up the 306 and stick it on of my buggies. There's just something cool about the wide rally shells :)

Parma XR2.

You will have to be patient if you are searching for the specific body, some of mine I have collected have literally taken years for ones to appear anywhere. The quickest way of getting hold of a period correct body, even if it isn't a Fiesta, is to see if a shop can order the Parma Escort Cosworth, Horizon Hobby UK had a batch of them pulled a few years ago. Or there's the Delta Plastik Lancia Delta.
Otherwise it's just a waiting game for bodies to pop up, such as the Sierra Cosworth above.

Thanks for the advice
 

Guys thanks for the help, I have emailed Parma direct, I will keep updating the thread.... :D
