roymattblack Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It was great fun and quite rewarding to get the box of broken bits back to a reasonable state once again.The poor old girl deserved better than being stuffed in a box in a loft for the past 30 years. There are a few bits that I would do better if I were to start over, and maybe a more few upgrades too, but the point of this project was to use as much as possible of the original bits and only replace or re-make where really necessary. If anyone hasn't seen the build, it's here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234975263-pocher-fiat-130-hp-back-from-the-dead/ I haven't yet decided where the old girl is going to go as display space is now at a real premium with these biggies.It might go in the entrance hall on a book case - being a real old-timer, it's a bit more 'decorative' than a Jaguar, or Lambo...

Codger Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Off the charts beautiful! You've snatched this one from Father Time. - A pleasure to look at and a bargain too. Now when time (and weather allows) you must photo for us, all the Pochers together. Do you have a stretch of Earth that big?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzwizz24 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Beautiful restoration Roy! It was a pleasure following along on this one. I have this kit still new in my stash and one day I'll have the courage to start it and I'm sure I'll look back on this one for more than just a few pointers. Well done!
