Quavey Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It looks great! One thing I have always wondered with kit cars, once they are finished do they end up as the same dimensions as the original car? I would have thought the Ferrari was a much larger car than the MR2 underneath no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantav8 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 So after fitting the mirrors the inside looks like this! So made some trims and painted em' Satin black.... And fitted,looks tidier! The dummy Engine is supposed to 'Hang' on cords when the lid is open(like a parcel shelf) but limits access to the Toyota lump,so I thought I would attach it to the lid so it lifts out of the way!-seems to have worked....... And still in the correct position when the lids up..... :hammer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Looking good. The tinting should help, or maybe find someone who's handy at air brushing? You've done a cracking job all told. Car looks great Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
