seanrgb Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well today I finally turned into Mr Rivit counting saddy sad sad ... I bought a set of belts some time back for my first now hammered to death Mk1 Tyrrell So I thought I'd use them on this one (not through choice) ..I spent 2 hours trying to get a decent picture of the seat and its belts , which turned into a farce as I could only find seat shots of the 77 model . So I then decided to use the kit decals of the belts , which looked ok until I used good old microsol which made them all fold up , Then I tried using the ribbon belts which would look fine in a 1/12 car ...which looked total s***e , so then I spent 3 hours of my life which I will never get back making them out of paper ..which looked pretty good in my book (Pictures later). Then I looked at the rear suspension which was lop sided, so I then cut of the pins to attach the rear wheels to the drive shafts , which was another hour of my life which I wont get back ..and ended up having to make more pins for those .. , turns out the pins that attach the gearbox to the engine are wrong so ended up pulling all that off sanding the pins off ..only to find out the problem was a flipping shock absorber being the wrong size :shithappens: But got there in the end looks like I'm back on course now , all that needs to be done is the following , add the headers , put in the instrument panel , wire the engine up properly , dry brushing on the engine rocker covers , put on the rear spoiler , and light housing , paint some rivits silver klear cote , then weather I reckon I should of bought the real car and built that would of been a damn sight easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
