Very impressive! The John Wyer establishment was a short bike ride from my secondary school. We used to go out at lunchtimes to see what was about. steve

Loads of trucks with them at a guess. Truck guys, what do you say? steve

How about limiting the engines to diesels only? steve

I built this originally in the late 1960s. It lived in a clear plastic box so has remained mostly dust free ever since, despite moving house 4 times and being buried in a box for many years. No doubt it's origins are plain as a Monogram 'Drag Strip' 32 Ford. The tyres are also Monogram of some sort. Not sure where the front axle, grille, radiator or lights came from now but the mill comes from an IMC 1948 Ford Convertible. (Which is still unbuilt to this day...) The steering wheel comes from a Frog Cobra, but everyone knew that The exhaust pipes are from a pick-up, Lindbergh 32 maybe? Shouldn't take much to restore this one! steve

'74 Pantera? steve

Thanks David. I have a friend who used to own a Vincent so I will pass that on. steve

David, Is the Vincent a kit? Thanks steve

Nice Marcos. Thanks for the great pics. steve

Very impressed with the work you're doing here. I built a few of these Merit kits back in the last century when they were new but nothing to this level. steve

Being a big Saab fan, that I like a lot! steve

Nice motor. Agree the colour scheme needs changing, I would suggest the straight black and white would do the trick. steve

Excellent job. Also, your way of working on these old kits mirrors exactly my approach. steve

I had an FSO Polonez in 1990s which, for cheap second hand car was pretty good. Looking at your link Peteski it looks like I might be able to get a model of it. Thanks! steve

This is an excellent "how to" for those us (OK, just me then) who lack the knowledge for how to make these sort of modifications. steve

Oops! steve

Well, the Austin Healey Sprite on the right and the Peugeot 304 Cabriolet on the left were easy steve

I kinda like it. Would look good sat on my desk at work steve

No problem Ron. Thanks steve

Now that's my idea of a four-door saloon Thanks for posting! steve

That green thing in Robdebie's post is hideous, whatever it is. steve

Thanks Jeremy and Tom! steve

What pleased me today was the birth of my third granddaughter, Baillie. Lovely healthy child, around 6lbs, a little underweight as she was a couple of weeks early. Now the fun starts all over again with a new life! steve

I think I've worked out your secret. You are actually a 1/25 scale human and you are working on a real car in scale... steve
