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

Patrick

yes i cut the subframe left and right
after removing the parts, there was40 mm more free space to bring the front more down.



The mk1 build is al little bit more easy, i think

Hi all,
Our two cars are still in the paint shop.
Irfan has wasted no time.
In the meantime, he has finished building the new private workshop.
I envy him for such a little

i got my baby back from the paint job





Now I still have enough time, only one or two days working in Switzerland at the Lake Constance and then finally weekend and time to build
Le mans stripes, racing numbers, new bucket seats and cute little accessories.

I am happy with my growing tribute to the sixties

The colour really works well, just the detailing to go.
