The brush skirts are mounted

It was a little tricky to get them on the car but they got there. I made a mistake mounting the decals before doing the skirts as handling the car messed up the decals a bit.

Glad you haven't given up on this '78, Björn. But after all the trouble, it's turned out to be quite an interesting subject. The unusual airbox and brush skirts are quite convincing!

Cheers,
Chris

I'm impressed with your brush skirt. Neat and straight just as it should be. Like Chris said, it's an interesting subject worthy of your effort so keep at it Björn.
