Many thanks Kev  A little more done. I have started on the gear box, added some wiring and highlighted the pieces. I have also made the rear suspension, added the clips using sticky aluminium tape, thanks to Roy. I have also spray painted the shock absorbers as I did with the front. I have a lot of builds going on towards Christmas, not rushing but hopefully this will be one I can complete in time. More soon Mark Markwarren attached the following image(s):

I have finished the engine bulkhead and added some wiring and fuel pipes. I have also added some subtle weathering on the inside of the white panels, along with the rear sound proofing panel. Still some more cables and pipe to be added at a later stage. Thanks for looking. Mark Markwarren attached the following image(s):

Back to the Porsche build. I have attached the rear brakes and wheels as shown in the first picture. The next stage was to build the exhaust system. Some jubilee clips were made, using adhesive silver aluminium foil as I did previously. I have also sprayed the silencer grey metallic colour and attached it to the heat exchangers. Once this was completed and attached to the engine, I covered up the four screw holes and weathered it to tone it down from the bright silver paint. More soon.
