Brilliant work, when looking at the work you have put in on that engine, you can be forgiven to think it was the real thing. Looking forward to following this build. Mark

Thanks to much mates, thanks for yours comment and appreciation. Here the last steps done. The engine room is completed. I coloured some wires, i added the wire to the coil and i finally added some decal (like suggested by Magpie). I simulated the use of Greddy fuel injectors like in some real vw tuned engine. I covered with alu tape the chassis heat shield Finally i black painted the exhaust system like supersprint or remus sport exhuast. I coated the manifold with bendage tape. Now i'll wait the silencer to modify the tailpipe. frah2o attached the following image(s): Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60

After received the second seat, i start to modify them. I remoed the trim from the chassis. I sprayed it in matt black and i use a Recaro decal. Now i must decided if to mantein the kvlar chassis and color some details in coral, or total respray the chassis seat in coral. to choose this, i think is better to wait the overral interior frah2o attached the following image(s): Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60

Where did you get those seats? I have had a difficult time finding stuff like that in 1/8 scale. DeAgostini kit builds:

Thanks to everybody for your impressiona and comments. @ Metal Mech: The seat are in "Costruisci la Dellta HF Integrale WRC 1/8" is an italian collection made by Hachette (the same that produced this Golf Gti 1/8). These seats are the co-pilot seat of the Delta Other the golf, i'm also collecting the delta too. I think the delta will improve my tuning project with some future parts like sport steering wheel, 5 point safety belt and perhaps the project for rollcage. My first idea was to swap the delta seat in the mustang too, but i think the interior mustang look are better with original. Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60
