Now that's good value, buying a kit and donor at the same time and using the donor to transport the kit home.

Looks really nice
I would paint the chassis fron black.
That red on the wisbones and nose cone doesn't look right to me.

Just noticed the wipers are arse backwards compared to my tin top, then googled some pics and found everyones seem to be like this
I always thought I was going to put mine the other way around until I saw this.
Now I realise that the spindle would have to be extremely far over to the o/s to get the required clean area, *doofus*
Nice car BTW, only 1 problem, you appear to have built it far too quickly

Not very practical for those of us building a BEC

I know I'm biased, but a "book" locost is a thing of beauty

Thanks for the suggestion, l0rd, but I like the black / red contrast....
