Thanks mate! I really hope I can make some good progress. I have to get through November exams and then it's full on for the December and January holidays. There's still quite a bit to order for her, but I want to get as much done as possible with the bits I have - especially the rooflining and interior. Happy times =] 

 

I can't wait to see her with the arches and things on that have been sprayed!

Good luck with the study... rooflining is a bugger of a job but you just need to take your time and stretch it as you go... not rocket science, but need to have a plan when you are doing it...

 

Cant wait to see it with the flares on also....

 

Cheers

Thanks! I'm really going to have to look into how others have done it, just to get an idea. Want it to look good - paid a good amount for that Newton Commercial item. I just need to get it out of its packaging and get rid of the creases and fold marks.

 

Hopefully getting her home today or Saturday - then I'll definitely crack on with it!

Went and had a look at the car today. The polishing has made a real difference - nice and deep now. The arches look good too! Hopefully I get my made up bits next week.

I really like the combination of the extended rear end and the round nose front. Can't wait to see it back together again!

That's what I love about this car too. They also made a standard round nose shell with a Hornet front end.

Thanks - nor can I!

Just have to get the arches and spoiler back on Saturday after a polish.

Same! I'm actually excited to get working on her, but have to keep reminding myself to study instead  >_< Still have a lot coming up though. Even considered some banded steelies!
