The new double build overseas (Germany)

Looking good, the gold stripes look the business.

Where did you get the boot handle/lock from?

Cheers

This Handle is from a 72 VW Käfer (bug / beetle)

:peep: sorry my crap, yes it is the legendary beetle or in the old times "the bug"

Love what you have done with the kit, do you know any thing about Hanomag Henchels? (Mercedes 206D).

Hi,
*I'm glad you like it.
But sorry about the Mercedes, I have no idea

Thanks, Just found 1 on ebay for 18GBP, I´m going to order 1 and have a look at maybe replacing the door handles with them as well as the boot as per the original GTO, this may be scraped after a few hours of my swearing at it and it will end up on the boot!

I think Irfan just want only the big white dots on the start numbers.
Let's see what comes up. His red GT500 has white stripes, :rockon: his dark blue 427er Cobra has white stripes:rockon: ...... want to see.:laugh:

Today I went a little long with my MX. That makes me the moment more fun than my orange supercharged Mustang. The best ever only 1/2 of gas:biggrin:

My driving skills are more Miss Marple than Steve McQueen:laugh:

I like the old scool look, I'm really glad that Chris produces such a stylish kit.
On the road, the people turn around and keep the thumbs up:exclaim:
I like it

We have today started with the electrics on red car
The small side turn lights look really great
10 Jun 2013, 12:16pm
Are the front parts side lights? If so I may do the same as the headlights I've got don't have a side light in them.

Magnifique!

Today we were the Head Turner on our trip to Bavaria.
All the people were enthusiastic, an old grandma and grandpa were delighted at the gas station to see these beautiful cars.
At the end of the trip we wanted to take pictures in front of the castle Wilhelmsbad. That was funny. Families have found themselves in front of the cars and have photographed it.

This was an absolutely fantastic day with great cars

Chargerstang - Both the cars look great Heinrich. :cool:

I think you will be turning heads all the way when you come to England.

Good luck, Paul. :)

Yesterday I built two new inner fenders

So it can go on the big trip:rapture:

Looks nice. If you are looking for a V8, have you looked at putting an ls 1 V8 in the mx250? If you check out some of the miata US forums they do it quite a lot, 400 bhp sounds tempting.....

yes that's right, I've no time for the next 8-10 months
Daily 10-12 hours of work
Since there is no time to build:eusa_doh:
