Id give it a go mate! I was going to do a clubby front, as it would be easier, but I'm gonna go for a round front just to push myself and my bodywork skills :) As for colour it depends what colour I have the use of at the time, I'm leaning towards old English white, keep it classic looking, or orange!

Thought id update this to its current state

Great work Lewis!!, that looks stunning, and i think that dash rail upper is spot on from the pictures ;)

 

Keep it up, and don't keep changing your mind too much , otherwise you'll have a ton of 1/4 scale minis to sell

Cheers mate, it's starting to get there, yeah keeping it on track now, the only possible changes I might make is cut the sides out to make it a traveller/woody (depending on how hot the motor gets in an enclosed space)

Hmmm, couldn't you fit a underbody vent/intake ? maybe a couple of those low power fans from a laptop ?

Alos love the tyres :)

[olds_kool_lews]

I did think that with the floor vents, if I did that id put a fine mesh over it though, stop it acting like a scoop and picking up stuff.

The wheels are from a large scale formula 1 car lol

Just going to say loving the new rims matey.

 

Keep it up! it's looking more and more polished.

Doing some more on it tonight, hoping to get the front doors made up, and start the front end panel work :)

Got the wheels from a large 1:4? Scale F1 car, the tyres wont last long though, there like soft plastic lol

would it be worth having a miniature style window louvre with no window, so its just fresh air into the back, it would throw the entire aesthetic of the model around but could be an idea...

[olds_kool_lews]

I've decided to make the front doors with the windows half wound down, and drill holes the rear door windows to allow air to vent through

Got the front bulkhead sorted, I know it's not accurate, but it'll do lol

[olds_kool_lews]

Looks like this is getting into a magazine.... Cool!
