This is the first time I've built a model like this, just usually to the book and thats it. This time though I've decided to go the step further:
A modified engine along the lines of the Honda V-tech conersions.
Modified engine bay and chassis/ frame to hold it all.
Fully(proably not quite to some of the standards on here) detailed interior, with leather and carpet.
Opening boot and hopefully doors. Already taken all the front off to make the complete front open.
Hopefully detailed suspensions and brakes upgraded.
Hopefully lights, working from switch and stuff in the boot.
And whatever else I've forgotten.
Build has already started to heres a few images:

Carpeting now finished. The seats will be finished in leather. Which is from a free sofa cushion I got when wandering in to a carpet shop to possibly get a leather sample. Not a whole cushion cover...

Boot out, but not as neat as I wanted it, so some work here still to do.

Try out the wheels/ tyres for size. by

Testing out possible wheels in the form of some SCX Arrows F1 car. They seem a good size, but I won't permanently attach them in case I refurbish the SCX car they came from.

Thats it for now, I will be keeping this updated, but may take a while as I can't get on with other parts until this damn engine is in.
