I last posted on this thread over three ago. Coronavirus has me catching up on all those jobs you should have done ages ago!

My latest project. It’s a little bit fiddly! Look at the size of the distributor next to the Stanley knife blade.

I am going to bore you all on a daily basis with my progress!

You can get an idea of how tiny this thing is!

Making slow progress but it’s getting there!

Amazing micro-details; you must have very tiny fingers and a lot of patience; I don't know where you find the time.
Mind you, you need to get a bit of seam-sealer over those authentic welding gaps on the floor.

Look at the oil filter cap it’s about 3mm across! Imagine trying to glue that on!

The problem is it’s been painted so many times that little bubbles have formed where I wasn’t able to get into the minuscule gaps when I was sanding each offending coat of paint off. It’s either that or you must have welded it!!!

I hand painted it originally in blu turchese but it looked bad Then I sprayed it with some blue paint from Halfords and again it looked wrong. It needed to be the proper colour, so I had to order some online specially mixed in a rattle can. At least it ended up looking the bettter?

Wheels on, engine in, dash on. It’s a bit out of focus but you get the gist!
