I haven't posted for awhile due to my parents both being ill not leaving a lot of time for modelling but but I've made a start on these two. The first one will be a street version:-

Wheels are panasports with stretchwall tyres (both from Scale Production.
For the second one I wanted stock wheelarches so the bubble arches have been hacked off and the stock arches built up from plastic sheet - I can see a lot of filling & sanding in the near future !.

I'll post more progress as I make it but it may be slow.
Thanks for looking and sorry for the poor pics

Thanks for the comments, I've made a bit of progress on the stock wheel arch version, slow work as there's lots of filling & sanding involved. Still very rough and ready but I'm fairly satisfied with them.

Like the engine bay. Will probably get one myself for my 2 kits. I have no idea which engine goes in which car so I suppose there will be some research involved. They seem reasonably priced as well
