I love this absolutly brilliant project and a lot of skill fair play to you

[leigh21]

Has any more work been done to this?

[olds_kool_lews]

I'll try get a bit more done over the bank holiday weekend, been on hold as been moving house etc in the last month, been hectic!

I know it's been said before but top notch work, looking forward to seeing it finished.

Im going to redo the screen surround/scuttle, as it sits too high, so doesnt look right when i put the door panel against it, other than that, heres another pic ;)

Thats a 4 pint milk bottle to show the size of the car


And i picked up a set of 8 of these wheels, so tempted to build a 1/4 scale metro after the pick up ;)

I was gonna say would you build me a 5 door metro one....haha please build a metro one it would be a lot easier its like a square mini!

Mini-mini a-panels for my mini-mini van

Look good, but I don't think that dash will fit in it!

Yeah the dash might be a problem lol gonna do a proper dash though with a central (non working) speedo, and have a proper little interior with seats and carpet etc

Should be awesome bro. I hope to see an Optimise Automotive centre console!

Nah I'm not a fan of them centre consoles, gonna be simple classic mini van styled, just hope I can find a 1:3 scale steering wheel lol

[lkopferschmitt]

could you rewire a dial from the later sets of 3 dials as a centre dial instead?

loving the progress 

[olds_kool_lews]

I was thinking of using a wrist watch as a speedo, or just print a colour sticker of a 1:3 scale speedo as it's only for show.

I'm thinkin of making a driver for it too, so when the wheels turn, it moves the drivers arms like he's steering it, but that will all have to wait until I've finished the bodywork lol

[olds_kool_lews]

Both a bit small, need to be 1:3 scale, so needs to be about 18-20" tall so will probably just make my own lol
