Lone-wolf Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 No pics of any update as im waiting till i get it painted, decals on and finished at the moment the shell is fully trimmed i spent ages getting the ride height just sweet on the chassis making shims to really get it sitting good, finally the shell is washed, air dried and fully masked up ready for paint, i just need a break in the weather so i can get painting, i dont have a full can so hope its enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pristine until i “used” it, Beautiful looking cars…. looking forward to seeing the pics mate 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 @Gaz! mine is coming on i am at the Tamiya decal stage and we all know just how much fun that part is, sadly im having to do it part "Oliofiat" and part Alitalia, i think the shell on yours in the pics look nice than how mine will be but im still gonna be happy with it, no more pics till its done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Excellet job, love the wheels, they remind me of the "alleycat " alloys we used to fit to 1.1 rally cars in the 1980s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 Last couple of pics, light buckets fitted and body posts cut down feeling very happy with how it turned out, i dont honestly see me rally driving it in anger but it will make a lovely road car 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 A set of rally wheels arrived today but i dont see me using them for long as the tyres are very plasticky dont see them having any grip, will try them and maybe they will surprise me, maybe not 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
