That's amazing!

[olds_kool_lews]

really pleased how this is turning out, might re-do the passenger door post as its not quite right, but thats easy to sort! really need to sort an engine so i can get the front and rear suspension set up then i can get the outter shell built up!

amazzingggg are you welding this ? they look like tiny welds ?

[olds_kool_lews]

yeah its all welded together! i ground some of the welds back and have applied some seam sealer and paint, some welds i cant get at with my grinder but hey, i'm happy with it lol

mate this is legendary. i like the wheels but i reckon with all the work your going too you cant just leave them tyres on. they will look to small. when in the arches. why not try making your own tyres ore modifying those to fit with a kit like this. http://www.frost.co....g-kit-500g.html

[olds_kool_lews]

yeah i noticed that about the wheels, the tyres are a little on the low profile side so gonna look for some suitable replacments that will fill the arches better!

glad you like it! lol

[Artful Dodger]

you are crazy.... ;)

you need to get an engineering shop and make a functioning 1/4 scale a series engine!

[olds_kool_lews]

now that would be sweet! i had thought about it, but thats for another day lol

[Bungle]

love it, good work

[olds_kool_lews]

cheers bungle, this 1 wont need an iva to get on the road lol although i might get done by bmw for copyright haha!

[ChrisG10]

Congrats Man! I've read through this a few times!
How would you like to make some full scale panels for my clubman? :L
Seriously amazing work!

Chris :)

[Shifty]

Looks pretty damm cool!!

Looking forward to seeing this finished.

[tiger99]

Great work! I guess youi will be needing lots of 5/64" UNF bolts soon, to fit the subframes, and 1/16" for the front damper mounts. They don't do these exact scale sizes, but a #1 is nearly 5/64 and a #0 is nearly 1/16. Wheel nuts would need to be #3.

[olds_kool_lews]

im just gonna wing it with the nuts and bolts, my missus dad is into his rc helicopters, so might go and nick some bolts from him lol it will look mini from the top, but flip it over and underneath will have coilovers, full wishbone suspension, rwd etc
