Hi all, i'm after a wrc or a body shell like this to put on my Xb4...
25 years ago, it wasn't a problem to find, and today i think they are not avaiable.

Olivier,
They're not as easy to get any more, unfortunately.
Could try these guys for a Delta or Xsara -

Might be worth checking out the measurements of some of the new generation of rally car bodies from Traxxas etc. , although a lot of them are fairly blob-like.
Schumacher sold a lot of Parma-made ones back in the day (Mondeo, Mercedes, Alfa 155, Escort Cosworth, Calibra, Gelica GT4, etc.), but they're harder to find now - might be easier to search for locally for you, though.
I considered offering you something from my stash... but there's not a lot left, and postage is so exorbitant for things like bodies.
Good luck!
Alex

Thanks for this reply Alex and for this link.
