Only problem is if it does the same again the hole will be so much more noticeable :roll: (hope that doesn't happen) Looks good when they are nice and clean like that.

I hope it doesn't do it again it took me ages to weld up the hole, so i think it will be stronger in that area at least.

It will be on the road end of month, then it's straight into the classifieds with it.

Just my opinion...

Post by MattD »

But isn't a Fury essentially the same as a Stylus ??
I still think the Stylus is a prettier car & the chassis is as good, if not better, than a Fury.

OK, Stylus build parts & spares are an issue, but most of us know where to find the bits,
& YES, the BGH guys are top drawer & answer the phone.

Personally, bodywork is my concern. What happens if I wrap it somwhere ??
But I'm fairly sure a Fury or Pheonix body would graft on if needed.

Gonna cost a lot more £££ to change over to a Fury, unless you're think about a BEC :wink:
Even then I'd find a nice built one via Pistonheads or similar.
A car engined Fury build gets you back where you started, 6/12/18 months & £5/6K plus you Stylus money later.

Mind you a Riot with a 1500cc turbo 'Busa in the back might be serious fun..... :mrgreen:
