Getting back to work on this... Finally
Dry fit suspension. Going to try and get the cowl/floor prepped for paint this week.

Don't forget covering the rectangular panel line over the diffuser

Looks nice! Will you present it with wheels on? Would be a shame to hide the brakes

Thinking of displaying it similarly to this Mp4/4(depending on how it turns out):
(Also not my build)
I need to get moving on this so I can get going on the next one... (Very excited for it too!)

And quite nicely indeed...
A question: desn't provide the detail set something to cover the "round pin" upper attaching point of the suspension??
Honestly it's quite a blow to all the excellent job done.

I mean something closer to this...
Beacause all the other stuff you put in oh dear!!!

Definitely getting rid of those. I'll either trim it flush and add a PE bolt head or drill it out and use an actual bolt.

Small update:
Built some shock absorbers for the rear (even though they will never be seen...) Also got the wheels re-done. Paperclips for valve stems. Probably (definitely) over scale, oh well.

Looks good! What are you using for the shocks?
