just finished glueing and assemmbling the seat and harness..
should have fixed the seatbelts first before i glued the seats.. hard to reach the sides to glue them

Looking good!
You fixed the seatbelts with the seats glued and with the rollcage on?

nope...
1. i glued the seats
2. glued the seabelts
3. attached the shoulder belts to the rear rollcage
4. glued the rollcage over after all the shifting and adjustments to the shoulder belts

Looks very realistic. The decal work is very nice, better than what I could do. Good luck on finisghing up this project.

Looking good! I agree on the decal work, looks stunning, and so do the body painting. About the belts, you learn as you go along, I think you fixed them real nice (small fingers? )
I think you put the spare wheel upside down though, a bit hard to see from that angle.
I've bookmarked your site and I'm waiting for some more pics.

Well, looks good so far. Nice job on the harness and decals...just one thing. The brake calipers are facing the wrong way, they are supposed to be on the front of the brake disk, not on top. Unless of course you did this on purpose?

[RallyRaider]

Coming along nicely. I see you've taken a few liberties with the internal paint scheme, that's cool Also strange how you positioned the brake calipers at the top of the disk. If you are going to vary from the real car, wouldn't it be better for lowering CoG to place them at the bottom, like most F1 cars do these days?

hmm... i examined the kit very thoroughly when i first position the brake calipers.. (because it was in the wrong position)... but i found that the groove to place the piece over is also in the wrong way.. therefore i just let it be
(maybe that is why it was heavily discounted??)
oh.. well.. guess will let it be

[RallyRaider]

Are you sure you haven't got the fronts and rears mixed up? Or left and right switched over? As Asmenoth says the calipers should be facing the front, as on the pic of a 1999 206 below. From the 2000 Monte on Peugeot used full size rear disks on tarmac events, so it would be easy to swich front and rears.

I think you need to check the instruction sheet more closely
