Here are my modifications from this weekend.

After much thinking I put each hinges on a base.:peep:
I have extended the site behind the door and the window, now the slot between the outside and inside windows has 10 mm and between body and window about 3-4mm.
Finally, I still have installed two drain hoses with 12mm diameter under the trunk lid.
Pictures say more than my words.

The mounts for the hinges looks a very Neat idea, will look good in paint.

i hope:laugh:
it was the only way to use the Morris hinges

I did not know you were fitting the indian hinges to the front, they are Morris Oxford hinges Morris Miner hinges have a curve that would fit without modification.

They were too curved for my boot!

Hi the "indians" have 4 bolts each the Front is extreme long:icon_frown:

Your Hinges look much better:flame:

Next week I'm taking overtime.
Then it goes on. Priming and painting.
Once there is something new I'll post it.

Hello, here is a picture as my project at the moment looks like.
I have painted 5 pounds filler and sanded it, and sand, and sand ......
Now two fingers bleed.:mad2:
Tomorrow I will prepare my MX for the topcoat





I did not finish it until the kit CAr show.
I wish everyone a good time with all the nice cars and a good time and good luck for Chris.

See you all at the Barbecue.

Hi Chris,
that was and is my motivation.:target: :hungry: :tea:
I look forward to it and my boss has me already entered (allowed)1 week holiday
Thanks again for the fantastic kit

Hi Heinrich - quick question, did you have to trim the kit inside to get the front to sit properly? Mine is sitting too high and the wheel arches look very odd (only a first dry fit at this stage).

Cheers
