Well my engine doesn't fit the hole. Easily fixed though, well two short cuts with my exacto. Next job is to put some more length into the gearbox and a little trimming to the rear body work so the carb will be exposed.    Not sure which tyres to use though as I was going to use the ones from a beretta pro streeter on the back but they might be too tall and wide, while the others I have fir, they're slicks which wouldn't be allowed on the street where I live.   And a little stance test simply so I could see if it works  Hopefully have a load more progress tomorrow depending on time |

Some more progress tonight. Ended up using a different gearbox as the one for the engine was too tall for the available space. The new one was shorter but I sorted that with the wheelie bars. Decided to use the narrower slicks rather than the wider tyres.  remover the extra ring from the wheels and gave them 3 washes with the tamiya smoke to give them a dirty/oily look  and the engine is fixed in place now   |

That looks AWESOME!! Instead of putting a spare wheel on the front, you could put a NOS bottle....  |

Thinking to leave the spare off as I have a plan for a lot of the guns and other extras that were in the box and need the wheels from this for that build |
