Some nice work so far John and looking forward to seeing what magic you spin on this engine

 

[John Huggins]

Dont know about u lot but this just dont look wright, me thinks that fan belt's a little on the long side.

View attachment 43862View attachment 43863View attachment 43864

So while im deciding what to do with it i will have a go at the chassie,this will need a lot of work.

I will be cutting off both front & rear axels & scratch build r/diff-axel + propshaft and a complet new front end.

Why they put on a solid axel on the front i dont know but it's got to go.

What u think !!!.

fan belts a little too long for me too, maybe shorten it so the pulleys just off the engine block might do it.

I agree with you about making the front end, it'd look poor against the quality of work gone into the model so far if you left it as is.

top work so far matey

 

[John Huggins]

Ok made a start on the chassie, that was the easy bit but the front end wont be so simples.

Before i can finish the chassie i need to sort out one or two issues i have with the interior fit, all the seats from the rear door need to be moved forward as there in in the wrong place, all i can say is "STANLY".

Great work so far John and im sure your friend Stanly K Nife will help you out with the seating

 

[John Huggins]

Thanks Ian, lets hope so.

John

 

[John Huggins]

Me & Mr Stan ley had a chat and this is what we came up with, also added grab rails to the top rear seats (not part or kit ) but are on the original.

The bulkhead between front/rear seats has been changed to the original shape, all this messing about has messed up the paintwork some what & lost some of the decels but ha ho thats what u get when u dont think before u build.

Changed the bright red to a more blood red & i think it looks better.

Comments welcome.

Well onward & upward, next is the windscreen & frame, this is so not happening the original screen was a split screen (easy to fix just cut it in half) +ways, but the frame detail is neff, so i will scratch build my own (or try).
