StevieDisco wrote:Great details, especially the engine and engine bay. I love all the additional wiring. The power steering pump dip stick a nice add-on. Did you make the engine bay decals yourself? The stock looking trunk carpet is perfect. Keep up the good work. Hi the decals I printed off myself it did take quite a few test prints to get the size almost spot on

Hi all Engine is now in the engine bay permanently but only problem I've noticed is the decals are a little too big but I can live with it. I've relocated the circuit board and waiting on a replacement board as it had W1-7 missing but I can use this board for the interior lighting. Really can't wait for the body to turn up as it's due anytime this week and it can be test fitted. P-Lother attached the following image(s):

P-lother, where did you get your starter solenoid switch? See your photo with part circled in Blue. And great authentic look on belts and hoses. Would you mind sharing how you got the authentic look? Thank you for any information on starter solenoid and hoses, belts. Rich

Hi rich
I used very thin copper wire, thin card, 1mm nuts and for the main part of the solenoid was cut from an old cheap plastic paint brush I cut up and sanded to shape.
For the engine belts that came with the model I just painted the pulleys gloss black and used 1200 grit sand paper on the balts for a matt finish and for the hoses around the engine was from different thickness of electrical wire painted humbrol gray and left for 1min and went over with a dry brush to create a dull finish.
Phil
