   And finally I finished off the font at rear suspension as a pushrod system with antiroll bars

   Been a while with no updates but I have got some stuff done on the car.
   First off I shortened the front by taking the front box of and turning it through 180degrees
   
   
   Also because the last cage was hitting the screen I have made a new cage
   
   
   Opened out the holes for the numberplate for fit exhaust pipes

   The A pillar/roof bars
   
   Then the windshield bar and roof brace
   
   Finally I added a brace either side of the cage
   
   
   So now I have a cage and more work on the subframe
   
   
   Finally more test fit photos

   Time for another update.
   Small amount of bodywork has been done, I have added a lip for the hood to sit on
   
   Then added the hood pins on the front and back
   
   
   
   After that I added the main hoop to the chassis tub
   
   Then the bars down to the subframe
   
   and a cross brace for the main hoop

   So I now have a rolling chassis for the car and I'm now looking at lining the body up with the chassis and soon I'll look into the rollcage

   Time for more updates
   I took a small break (didn't actually mean to) but I'm now back working on it
   I have now built the front suspension onto the tub
   
   
   I have also now built the rear subframe

    I have to say your build is incredible and quite inspirational. Also The level of detail of amazing, I've seen a road going Alfa of this age and type down to it being just a rolling shell and you model instantly makes me think of it, you really have raised the bar here.

    Sounds very tempting but I do need to pack before then as I'm going to Le mans. Maybe I'll bring something back with me, Last time I came back with the XJR9-LM I mentioned. Also this build is unusually quick for me it normally takes me quite some time to complete a build

    So some updates on the F430.
    I have worked on reshaping the engine cover after adding the wing supports
    
    
    I added a strip at for the cover to close onto as the original needed modifying to clear the wing supports
    
    I have also cut the wheel arches to try and get the ride height for the shell.

    I still have some work to do on the engine cover shaping and fit but I did a quick test fit of the wing
    
    
    
    All in all I thing grafting that section of the Lexus's rear onto the Ferrari was probably te quickest way to do this and seams to have worked out well enough

    The focus I bought to do as a GT but changed my mind and went for the 430. Not sure what I'll do with the focus, it's quite low down on the list as I have an XJR-9LM that I want to have done by September and possibly a Tamiya 131 Abarth plus some oval cars. So yeah that focus might sit in the box for quite a while
