It's Arrived!

After many months of waiting the kit has arrived!


 There is something strangely satisfying about seeing so many boxes and car bits with your name on them!


More good news, it fits nicely in the garage.

Opening all the boxes was like Christmas morning all over again! I have sorted and organised the boxes into what seemed like a logical placement and order, but who knows. I'm pretty happy with all the bits that have arrived, although I haven't seen any wing-mirrors yet... Who needs to see behind anyway!

Job one as many others have suggested was a good bit of rust protection. For me this involved a Dinitrol 3125 for the engine bay, with special attention given to the "grot traps" and at the rear around and behind the fuel tank. This was followed by Dinitrol 4941 for the general underbody. Not the most fn job to start with but an important task. I am still debating making some infill pieces to block off the grot traps, any thoughts?
