Well decided to carry on with this build so will start with a few pics of what has been done so far. The kit has lots of bags of parts in the box  An all metal chassis and some carpet material put in. Basic engine dry fitted for now before I add some more parts and a splash of paint. Seat bases and seat belts added to the chassis. Decided on red springs and calipers all round and drilled out the discs. That's it for now. Al Spal attached the following image(s):

A little more done on this. Put the tyres on the wheels. Put in the windows and the front lights and mounted the doors and mirrors. Fitted the engine bay door and grill together with the Carrera badge. Couldn't resist seeing how it looked dry fitted with the chassis. That's it for now. Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Progressed this a little more and started on the seats.I wasn't happy with the washed out red colour of the dashboard or the seats, as seen below. So after having primed them I gave them a coat of crimson which I hope will look better once finished and in the car. Thanks for looking. Al Spal attached the following image(s):

I didn't realise you were building this Al?! 
Whilst I'm not a Porsche fan, I am a fan of model cars, especially well constructed ones like yours. Well done mate, looking good and I'll try to keep up with your build from now on.

This will be the last update before I finish her, the sparse engine is in but I need to find some belts to fit to it. The seats and dashboard have been installed and I think go well with the maroon carpet that was from the kit, apologies on the poor pic. The rear indicator lenses are fitted to the bodyshell and this is how she looks now. So just mirrors,rear lights,bumper and a few bits and pieces to add and a bit of a clean up to go on what must be the Pocher kit with the least amount of parts i've seen.

Nice update, the seat look so much better. Black elastic bands work well for drive belts.
