 Hi all well this arrived today Admittedly I had to wait a while (I ordered it on 27 oct with my birthday money) Let me tell you it was well worth the wait and for 68 quid incredible value for money. I knew there were some errors on it from watching other builds of it. The quality of the kit has surprised me, it is incredible, For instance look at the quality of the chrome  Unfortunately its wrong (not even sure if you can chrome an engine block) no matter 5 mind in bleach and that problem is cured  And im not sure why they went to the trouble of pre painting the top of the engine gold as that's wrong too.  |

Hi all the distributor is made and installed   Sprayed the floor pan  Tried the engine in it.   No idea where the coil is placed on this car so left an extra long ht coil lead. |

Looks like a good kit. Never heard of that brand before. You're doing a great job.

There is 1 other thing missing from this kit, there is no indicator stalk (which is also the main beam ) luckily its a very simple set up so easy to scratch build also the steering shaft is too long and protrudes too far into the cabin (unfortunately I don't have the equipment to alter that but if you had a mill you could)

Excellent work! I have always wanted to add lights to a model. They turned out great on this one. Off subject: is that a UGears model I see in the background? I've built one and loved it, working on another when I get the time.

I should just mention the one draw back with this kit is the steering will never work as the clearance under the wheel arches only gives you about 19 degrees from lock to lock, still a minor detail in my mind (certainly not worth paying 200 more quid for)
