not much more been done fixed rear axle, n painted some more pipes red, god theres pipes going everywhere

Can't wait to see it done.Resources for this car are hard to find.

From what i have read online, basically it is a reskinned zakspeed capri. maybe that can help narrow down some interior pics.

done some more on it today built the engine and put it in place.

Nice looking model you've got there;
If I may a suggestion to improve it even more, try sanding the line in the middle of the wheels, not only will that line dissapear, but the unnatural shinyness will also be gone.

Just a little tip, otherwise top-class model

This car is a Mustang GTO(IMSA) not a GTX. The later GTX was heavily modified version of the original Mustang that was the re skinned Zakspeed Capri. This car was an american Tube frame V8 powered(basically a Trans-Am car) with no connection to the Miller Mustangs or Zakspeed cars which ran 4 cylinder turbos. Nice work on the model, they can be a somewhat ill fitting and sometimes warped kit.

finished the inside stuff just got the body work to do

update, body, boot, hood sprayed, started on doing the transfars but it seems the age of them have made them break very easy, plus the red stripe around the car transfar is in 9 parts n they don't even match up once they put on, gotta sand the front 2 right off n paint them on Plus a lot of touching up to do on the breaks in the transfars can see me doing a full respray n ended up with out the red strip on the car

Their not just old,all the Revell and Monogram kits from that time had very brittle decals

latest update, had to scrap the body n pull out the spare which is now waiting for the paint to dry, full dark blue body as i can no longer have red strips, as they on the trashed body, so it have some transfars put on yet to do will take pic's later. then at some time not sure when, i gotta put on some clear coat as the paint i used was a matt base

body painted darkish blue, windows placed, no windscreen wiper & no rear lights fixed yet waiting till body has been clear coated, once i find a place that sells it in the uk but otherwise

here's the pics of the new verson, made it look like a race car waiting for its final number for racing
