I started this thing way back in 1994! Got this far then got sidetracked and never built anything else 'til I decided this past summer to get back into the hobby once more.

I had the body and interior painted as well but was not happy with it. Maybe that's why I quit ?

Anyway I took the seats out and repainted it.

Today it's almost ready to go together, just have to install the rear door.

It's not pretty but I'm happy with it. A learning experience!

It's almost the same as my 1:1 '01 Mazda pickup!

What's not to be happy with it? The only thing I can ask is are you going to foil the door handles, wiper arms, etc.?

No foiling. Yet to attempt that procedure, and I've already waxed it.

Well it's pretty well finished. Just a pair of license plates and maybe some touch up paint on the rear door hinges. Man, they were a pain!

And the next project...........................

I picked it up at my LHS for $13. A good practice forum!!
