Here it is, all complete with wing mirrors and wind screen wiper attached. I have used mirrored plastic card for the wing mirrors, and you will see the reflection it gives more in the small video, link below.

I have really enjoyed this build; I’ve done far more than I was going to and it has been very trying in parts. Just hope my business partner will be pleased when he gets it for Christmas.

The only thing I need to do is a mirrored base inside the display case which was bought for £4.99 and I placed a Triumph badge on the top.

Thank you all for looking.

That was a real lesson in 'fixing' small scale model cars, for everyone.
Absolutely amazing result.

Thank you Andy, I would say that it was far worse to put together than the pod racer I did, but enjoyable.

Thank you Roy for your comments. Didn’t start getting into car builds until watching your build diaries.
So back onto the Porsche, it will be strange, no magnifying glass.LOL
