This is one that I originally built about 25 years ago!
These pictures show what it was like before restoration started.

I am doing it pretty much standard but have lowered it a bit because I thought it sat too high. The difference between the original ride height and the new modified version can be seen below:

The following pic's show progress so far. I had some problems when stripping the bodyshell, the plastic seemed very brittle and a few bits snapped including one of the central window pillars which came off completely which was a pain.
