Nice update Andy, those shocks are quite something on their own, and set against the black of the chassis, they really look the part!

Hi All More progress. The brake disk,callipers and wheel hub assembly's have been fitted to the chassis along with the steering arms. The lower rear floor pan has been fitted along with the first of the lower rear bodywork bracings. The suspension on the kit is non working so to prevent sag over time you are given three metal tubes that fit to the chassis and this becomes the stand. I decided not to fit the engine until the suspension and rear area's had been finished so next it will be adding the upper rear boot floor along with the upper rear bodywork frames. Bought some extras straps, metal mesh wires and some plastic mesh that can be painted. More soon.

Nice update Andy. The support posts seems a good idea as I should think the completed kit is quite heavy.

Hi All Fist off it was time to fit the engine and prop shaft to the chassis once this was done I carried on with the rear end. Fitted what I suspect are the fuel pumps and pipework to the side bulkhead of the upper boot this was then attached to the lower boot section already fitted. I have tried to reproduce the look of aluminium sheet not sure if its worked but it looks better in real life than in the pics so i'l leave it as it is. Next it was time to add the rear body framework, went together like a dream must say i'm enjoying this build. Next its the cockpit. More soon.

Looks superb Andy, I think the effect you have got for the aluminium sheet is really good.
