Nice pictures, looks like you are getting stuck into it.
Good luck, lot of potential there.

As Steve said best model bug they made.

Looks like its had accident repairs on the RH side and front and whoever did the paint just painted straight over the top of the old paint on the bonnet and side and didn't even primer that RH front guard.

thanks guys for the replys, i am getting stuck into it as much as i can at the moment and the paint has been painted over and not primed... but i am hoping it will turn out alright in the end!

Nice

What are the C pillars like?

Great model
A few tweaks to the suspension and you will be smiling

As far as I know they seem to be in fairly decent condition... Not alot of rust on the whole car either, only a few small patches and the front guard.

looks like a great project

Anyone know where i can buy an Oil Filter for it? its a 1600?

They don't have an oil filter, only a washable strainer

Thankyou! i tryed to tell my relatives that but they wouldnt belive me haha...

Thanks again

Mate i have some coil overs for this pm mé if yo want more info

Got the Shed All Cleaned out today so the car now has a home!
