Hi started this one and finally got it finished. This was a nightmare kit to buld as the frame was warped the body was warped and nothing seemed to fit without modification probably why I kept putting it away. Built mainly box stock I added fuel lines and added plug wires. Swapped the headers for some better looking ones from the parts box and added a different scoop. Not sure what the colour is as my wife had some of her spray cans around and thought it looked neat on this build. Body halfs were warped but managed to get it squared up and made a parachute mount for the rear. Front end just didnt want to fit so I had to modify everything to fit. All in all I think it turned out alright for something I thought I would have to part out. Cheers and thanks for looking Steve. Any comments welcome.

I am really not a fan of these weird looking bodies they used back in the day, BUT, this looks real nice Steve, beautiful color, and well laid down too. I like the black contrasts and the engine looks killer mate.

GREAT BUILD. niceone

Thanks for all the positive feedback, glad I stuck with it than parting it out as it is one of those kits that really doesnt want to go together the way it should. Cheers Steve
