Come on Chris, must be time time for an update and pictures by now.

A little more prep and then moulding will start shortly.

Excellent news, it looked pretty much ready for moulding ages ago. I do hope you haven't been wasting time on the rust bucket Escort!!!:eusa_whistle::boink:

Are you going to offer GRP bumpers as an option . The "real" ones look fab but cost more than the donor Z3 !

This is laser cut from 4mm thick stainless, about 8" long. The cut is a bit rough and will need tidying & polishing, but looks good.

Will you be starting a new thread for the convertible version?

Can't wait to see the finished results.

We still have to provide Kidge with his hard top kit. The body shown will be modified to provide the buck for the convertible mould.

Convertible with a modified hardtop would be nice.
I wonder if that nice Dan will do a Daytona:eyebrows:

I think the Z3 soft top will work well on the 275 convertible.
18 Aug 2016, 9:35pm
Probably look better than the originals

A bit like the 250swb without the beer ledge at the rear.
18 Aug 2016, 9:51pm
Or this , a better view !

The Z3's looks better

Tributes 275 is definitely a pretty car

Now where can one get seats like that?

Tribute - It is great to see the first panels being created, this should be another great kit. :cool:

Chris & Dan - I hope everything works out well for both your companies going forward.

Good luck, Paul. :)
