Great, another Zakspeed! Great choice.

GWB was a automotive supplier company.
GWB means "Gelenkwellenbau" in German.

Come on, that long tail is not too hard to create.

I did see something about Axles and Banking when googling them. Back then I was more scared. Today....I just went for it and I'm almost done. A few hours more....

The body parts are now done.All are polished and waiting for the chassis.



I used some Alclad for the chassis.The tires are also done together with some smaller parts.
Time to put these parts together and go on with the cockpit stuff.

Thanks, but no new updates at the moment.
Just working on a acrylic cover for my airbrush extraction system to avoid fumes and dust.
Nearly ready now. Pics will follow soon.

[capri-schorsch]

Here they are.
The cover is doe so far.Only need to attach the front cover with the 3 holes in it.











I used clear acryl sheet which i bought a while ago for my display cabinet.I want ti use it as glas floors,but the models are too heavy.So i ordered some real glas in the mean time.
But what to do with the 5 acryl sheets?
So i decided to build a cover for my airbrush extraction system.
The frame is 3mm aluminum and all is screwed together.
Will test them i a couple of days.

And finally something new on the main subject.....the car.



The final tire version was painted and installed.
Now i can go on with the cockpit installation with dashboard and other stuff.



For test fit i put the cossie in the engine bay.Works.



The dashboard is the next bigger step.Need to create the instruments and switches.

The dashboard is looking realy nice, good idea to use Aderendhülsen, quiet cheap and lookin good.
I bought some small silver rings at a jeweler Store to produce some gauges, but they are expensive and getting black caused by humidity in the air if not sealed with clear straight after polishing the edges.
Good job Christian
