Thank you, I am anxious to start paint as well or at least primer

Re: Ford Escort RS1800

Headphones come for Tamiya's Rally Driver set. I fabricated the microphone for the helmets I modified earlier.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800

I'm not sure how the headphones were stowed. I have (1) picture in my collection with the headphones hanging from the roll hoop and (1) picture with them hooked around the kicker bar. As much as I like the look of them hanging from the roll hoop I think the other option was a more standard setup.

Kicker:

Re: Ford Escort RS1800

Sorry, not good enough, missing the sump plug.

As I have said before, I really don't want you to finish this build. I am enjoying it too much.
