Very neat precise work. An interesting subject too. The complicated girder frame looks like it must have been a nightmare, but you've done a wonderful job. Can't wait to see more.

I design it for myself. The girder frame wasn't so hard. I'm just mising enough photos of interier and engine. If someone have photos or blueprints of engine, gear unit etc, please send me those or post a link. Thanks

Roger,
It is the Turbo Twin X1 from 1988 Jan De Rooy raced this in the 1988 Dakar. after winning the Truck category in 1987 The team withdrew after the other X1 crashed, and killed one of the team members. And Jan had not raced the Dakar since then until in 2002-2003 when He and his son Gerard raced a Daf truck. and after that race, De Rooy has been factor in most of the Dakar races since then, winning stages, and being a pain in the rear for the Russian Kamaz Team. But the mechanical gremlins have seen fit to give the De Rooy team a hard time, multiple withdrawls for various problems. Rick
