Thanks for the interest guys, I've made a bit of progress on the stock wheel arch version, slow work as there's lots of filling & sanding involved. Still very rough and ready but I'm fairly satisfied with them. Also got the Scale Production transkit in the post - I'll just be using the engine bay as Ill be using the Lotus Twin cam engine from the Tamiya Lotus Europa.
and also got rid of the extra instrument binnacle on the dash as I want a close to stock interior Thanks for looking Andy
