Hi, congrutalations again for your work. Unfortunatelly for me I`m absolutely disconnected of modeling, but just today I have got time to see what is happening around.
After see your rollcage work, I saw some mistakes that maybe wou would like to correct easily.

First of all is the front transversal bar on the roof. I think that is very rearwards and the bend is the opposite direction.
I also think that rear part of the roll cage (that close to the rear windows) is not corretc, with a lot of bend, and in real car it fit much lower, over the rear plate. I also miss other parts of the roll cage rear structure, as for example bar that connect central part of the roll with the rear wheel arc.

Other point is the position of the fire extinguisher...

I hope this pictures help you.

Hey Borjacho, will turn the fire extinguiser :)
About the roll cage, most of it will be hidden under the body, will see if i adjust it. (Btw thanks for the pics)

Nice!!

Nice machining parts, very nice indeed.

Man thats great project :)

Just found this tread so I started right from the beginning. It's a great joy watching this come together. I really like your modifications and detail work, especially the machining. Body looks fantastic, keep up the good work.

Tease:

Still waiting for some stuff to finish the engine...
But after so long, it was time to join the body and chassis!

Greetz

Wow, looks really impressive

Damn, this is coming along really well.

Have you painted the front lip black?

Amazing :)

Nice!!

More more! We need more updates! :)

Have you painted the front lip black?

Yes i've did, the instructions told me so... But after seïng some actual pics of the car, it didnt have to be black, but blue... :banghead:

Because decals were already in place and cleared, i left it as it is...

Meanwhile car is finished. Pics here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1050599

Thanks all for your comments and criticisms

Mate, you have to repaint that front lip to the right colour.
