Revell 1/25 Porsche 911 conversion to a GTS

Hi all my boss asked me to build this kit for him but as a GTS



First thin on my list (there is so much on the list) 

The kit is for a 6 spark engine(the GTS was 12 spark) so 12 HT leads and 2 coils, so cut the first coil off the fan shroud (not mounted there on a GTS) and cut the distributor off to make room for the new 12 spark one.
Here is what the kit supplies

So i cut it off

Heres a start the new distributor 






Still got to add the 2 coil wires but OK for a start.

Luckily we have the car he wants it modeled on at work (so no shortage of reference pics)

(There is so much to change)

Hi all progress continues on this (here are pics of the actual engine we're aiming for.





And here's what we've got so far

Hi all made some air filters from some sprue.

Started flaring the rear wheel arches.




The front will be a challenge.

Coming along beautifully. There is no challenge that we as humans can't conquer. Keep up the great work. It's very helpful to have the 1:1 around if you are making a replica. Can't wait to see more.

Hi all I don't have the colour for this yet but I wanted to check i had the flaring right (which in primer you cant) so I sprayed the only quality colour I had on it just to check the finish (this was 2 pack paint so not full gloss) i just wanted an idea 





As you can see a few problems to sort 





This is what we're aiming for.

Started on the interior (could be a problem here as the restoration at work hasn't got this far) its quite interesting as to why these things take so long to complete (this restoration has taken 4 yes so far) reason being it was 1 of 4 cars built to this specification the other 3 no longer exists so the restoration keeps going on hold till the correct parts appear which can take months or even years to turn up.

Trial and Error is what makes us better. I love that color. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see more on this build.

Hi all I bet you thought I'd forgotten this, just been waiting for decent spraying weather (I know the weather still isn't great but with help from a hair drier here is what ive got) I must say I'm quite pleased.

Hi all more work done on this one.

More done on this, going to have to do something with the ride hight, its awful

Well the chrome work round the windows is done and its glazed.

The basic kit can be a challenge. I luv what you accomplished on the engine and body. Thanx for keeping your mini-manufacturing going! Much appreciated!
