Many thanks you guys.

As a bit of fun, here are two pictures I set up to look similar.
First, the car as it arrived, second, as it is at this point...


Hi Roy

The difference between the before and after picture is fantastic, it just shows that you can get a broken kit and build it like new. Mind you it’s down to your super model skills and having the knowledge that makes all the difference Roy. Did you have to scratch build or did you order missing or broken parts?

Many thanks Glenn.
Anything broken I repaired and the odd missing part was scratch made from 'bits' or a mould taken from an existing piece and copied in resin - such as the missing wheel centre.
I didn't want to replace any parts as I wanted it to be as original (but sorted) as possible.

Roy.

Looking lovely Roy. I know I've said it before but I still think this is one of your best restoration builds. The before and after photos serve to highlight just how much work you've put into this project and it is really paying dividends.

Excellent work all round, very well done! Cool ThumpUp

That is a fantastic transformation... the before and after shots show what a great job you've made of turning this into a stunning model.
