From Good Ol ebay UK! A base for a TOON conversion. Or not as the case maybe!

Thanks ceeb555.

A bit more: Front and rear lights , more decals, door mirrors, windscreen wipers and a few more bits to do!

This last one looks like Henry Cole's from the TV programme Shed N Buried! Plus other cars of my past, Austin A30, Standard, Meyers Manx and as our family was when the boys were teenage, plenty of VW Beetles! Thanks for sharing these brilliant photo's!

Cheers Jim, good to hear from you! With our imminent house move most will have to be packed away!

Update: a few decals on. Update 13.07.25 the other side is done now as well!

Cheers guys, I'll try that!

So as I build it, where does it go please?

Er No! Thanks guys!

Half way there! This is the kit of the Metro 6R4 rallycar of 1986. The original engine was a Rover V8, but as there wasn't room for the big V8 so the rear two cylinders were cut off! Four wheel drive was fitted for maximum grip and as allowed with any World Rally Car to be as fast as possible. Also it was my first go at making seatbelts with the photo-etch and fabric, very stressful, I think I'll stick to decals.

This takes me back I was a volunteer marshal about this time, firstly spectators (stopping them running across the track!) and then onto the airfield, firstly with small fixed wing and later with only helicopters! Thanks for sharing the photo's!

My late brother bought the bog standard new Austin 1100. It rotted out just after the warranty expired!

Superb so far! I had the same split decals on a Porsche 911 race car!

Thanks dnl42!

At 1/2 price on ebay UK: Having built one with timber decal sides etc. I shall do this as a poor renovate with runny gloss grey brush paint!
