Some of you may already have seen the first couple in the gallery section.

Project N12 group N rally car is being built by a friend for rallying in the Kenya Rally Championship. Car is a Spec C 2.0L

Thought some of you may be interested in following the build.

As it arrived in Nairobi, Kenya from Japan, Dec 2006;

 

As it stands now, stripped down;

















More to follow as and when I receive them. Hope you guys like them

 

Blimey!!! Takes some seriously large ********* to buy a brand spanking new car and strip it to the bare chassis

Hope it all goes well

 

Yes, indeed

He's a hell of a driver, can't wait for the finished thing!

 

here's stage 2 the body is almost done with stitch welding and reinforcement. next stage is roll cage then painting

 

Good grief!

Cage next?

 

Yep, cage going in next. Pics to follow shortly......

 

Right, so it's gone from a fully stripped shell, to fully seam welded in about a week according to post dates.... therefore i'll give you another week to get the cage in, then another few weeks to paint it, then fitting up.... so, shall we say finished by......... mid march???

 

Takes ***** and deep pockets to do that, the progress is impressive...

 

LOL, my view exactly.......... can't wait for the finished thing! Not sure what the anticipated finish date is, will enquire.......

 

His current car, narrowly missed winning the 2006 championship against a field of much newer Impreaz's and Evo's.

 

STAGE 3

here's stage 3 of body shell prep. few items remaining like dash mount and seat brackets.
will keep the pics coming

 

Very cool project with some awesome prepeation going into in.

 

Truely committed!
Great to see.

Wow!

 

No messing about on this one then.

 

I take it he does know the wheels go on when it's up the other way.....

Great progress.... i was actually joking when i said when i expected to see it finished!!!

 

Am sure the wheels will find them selves on the right way at some point. From seeing the rate at which this boy is going, it should be soon....

 

here's final stage before assembly.primer and paint inside out.
assembly is already started and will keep the progress pics coming

 

Excellent!

 

Blimey, how to build a rally car in no time flat......

excellent progress, lets hope the car is as sucessful when it's in use!!

 

here's assembly stage will with wiring brake pipes and a few bits and bobs in. will keep the pics coming

 

!

 

awesome, white is best

 

I agree

 

I'm not sure if the roll cage is man enough for the task .

What is the budget for this project (in GBP)?

 

Looks awesome

Prodrive would be proud of the quality they've achieved so far

 

Ready for some more pics? Here goes........
