You asked for it!
Here s the first in progress pics, as I wanted to build this a long time ago in a superbad colour (lavender
) and I hated it, it s passed the last weekend in the brake fluid and somes out nicely, with the mods I did to it then back ni the days...
I fixed the hood fitting problem(warp galore) and had to fix lotsa spots on the front of the body where there were cracks and gaps...
Secondly I built a steering mechanism ( as I hate non-posable steering) and sprayed the chassis
then checked the kit again...
these will be the hardest parts to get right I guess...
The seats will be have to cut out and replaced with different ones, and a plate will be fitted at the back of them.
A new tranny tunnel will have to be made too.
The wheels will have to be intensively changed too, I ll use the centre cap of the wheel and build the interior part of it with styrene, patience and lotsa styrene and putty and nuts and bolts.
then the window, won't be that hard to do I guess because a similar part is in the kit, it's just a matter of fitting and getting to look right with some styrene...
that's about it,
I think I ve got parts to make this (would be nice to have the correct rims tho-
