Hi everyone, well yes it has been a very long time since i built anything on here but life has been a bit chaotic of late.Tongue Tied

First off i hope you are all well . I have looked in from time to time but only quickly so my apologieas for not posting of late.Embarrassed

Well this one is well on the way now so i will just mention things and let the pictures do the talking to take you up to where i am.

I have cut of the front mudguards and will install PE ones from the Eduard detail set.

I am going to use Eduards Zimm on this as it came with it in the box when i bought it.

You getting bored yet?Zip it!

I make sure to give the zimm a rough sand on the back to scratch it to give it a key to grip.

Next up i have redone the weld beads to make them a bit more prominent.

Now to the trickier parts, that photo stuff. I made one front mudguard and distressed it somewhat. The other side will be left off 

Location points for the fenders were next. The carpet monster loves these and kept wanting seconds.

Then i made up some of the fenders for one side, again distressing them a bit for added interest.

Thats it for now , hope to have caught your interest on this ? see ya soon.

Andy.
