Thanks a lot guys, means a lot in these hard closing stages, keeps me going! :)

Small update today, I installed the anti-roll bar without too much trouble.
First attached the mounting points to the blue frame. They're not totally accurate, but it's the best I could do without taking apart half of the rear end.

All "bolted in place" and still moveable. Now I just need to create two new linking rods, because the kit parts are way too long.

And a couple of shots of the rear end because I like this view so much :)

Such a joy to see these pictures. I've built this kit as I'm sure many others here have, and can only say that yours bears almost no resemblance to what comes out of Tamiya's box. Keep up the effort!!
