Citroën ZX Optima Mid LWB Rally
After all the restoration projects almost finished I've come up with the idea of creating an Optima Mid rally car. A big reason for this particular combo is that I've got an original Kyosho Citroën ZX body unpainted and with N.I.P scale accessories. It's from a rally series based on the Raider chassis from around 1991. It just happened to have the same wheelbase as an Optima Mid LWB. I've started doing some custom work, copying an original aluminum LWB chassis to create an FRP version. This also means I will create FRP towers, top deck etc. The towers will have a slight change in the design to make it more unique.
More to come soon!

Update! So.. a few days later and a lot of cutting in FRP with the Dremel. I took an original aluminum LWB chassis and traced it. Kind of happy with the result. It almost looks like a Mid Custom Special chassis. This will be the sturdy base for my rally car. Next on the list is to craft some shock towers in the same material.

Haha, the Optimaniac bug is the best bug ever to be bitten by
Now early morning with rain outside. First time raining in 5-6 months back. At least the last spots of snow will melt. Unfortunately that means no crafting parts today. To be continued...
