A lot of the little details are missing underneath so I made my own U clamps.

On to the interior.

Starting the delicate BMF.

I just know this is going to be difficult.

It took an age to get the body to comply.

Sterling work Dave, the wiring is awesome.

Excellent work Dave, the detail is fantastic.

All great work Dave but the engine and dash are gorgeous.

Beautiful work! The wiring and technical detail is superb, the interior looks awesome (especially the dash) and the body is just gorgeous, love that colour.

That's looking amazing.

Thank you all. More work done, slowly.

I've decided to go with the stock headlights after asking around for peoples opinions on it. I had to make a couple of tab supports on the underside of the front bumper to make it a more solid fit.

I'm working on making the engine bay 'suitably busy' by throwing in all sorts of wires and boxes and stuff, after all there's plenty of room in here. The expansion tank is a touch wonky but it's in now.

Can't do much better than that!!!! In my town, I used to see a real one, in red. Land yacht!

by KatsZenJammer Sun 02 Dec 2018, 10:07 pm

Awesome work! The engine bay is just fabulously busy and the body paint is simply gorgeous (I may be repeating myself here, lol).

by Mr Hirakawa Mon 03 Dec 2018, 8:48 am

Thank you all. A little more done. Lack of decals means having to get going with the freehand painting, i'm amazed I managed the water bag to an acceptable standard. Mirror still hangs on by a thread. Onwards.

by GaryDainton Mon 03 Dec 2018, 12:12 pm

Acceptable?, looks brilliant to me, a great piece of detailing that brings the whole engine bay to life.

by dublin boy Mon 03 Dec 2018, 7:58 pm

Gorgeous!

by RetiredMike Tue 04 Dec 2018, 3:53 pm

Great work - an underhood masterpiece.

by Mr Hirakawa Sat 08 Dec 2018, 7:04 am

Nearly there. Underside 100% done.
