where can i get these figures inside the dodge??? building this as a dio at the moment but need figures for inside each car....PLEASE!

great car, Nick! Of course, I'm biased! Best of luck with her.......keep us posted on progress!

You're not alone, fella, I've been there, and let me assure you there's light at the end of your tunnel of pain. I had a car crash 14 years ago and suffered back pain since then on and off, ranging from stiffness and loss of movement, to feelin' like I had been shot in the ass with buckshot! Back in january I went through agony with left leg pain. I had never felt anything like this; I couldn't stand, sit, lie down, walk, nothing. Drugs only took the edge off it enough for me to fall asleep at night with exhaustion - noone thinks of that....coping with major pain drains you physically. Then, after weeks of pain, it just stopped. Dead. Not a twinge. I was delighted. Then, in the space of a couple of days, my whole leg went tingly, then numb, couldn't feel a thing. You could've drove a pickaxe through my foot and I would've just laughed. Suddenly my leg was folding under me, I was walking like I was drunk, and falling over a lot. This is normal for us Irishmen when fulla beer, but not when stone cold sober! My doc sent me for an MRI which showed L4/L5 disc had burst after years of wear and tear, bad posture etc. following my crash. The ruptured disc was pressing on a nerve, hence the first painful, then numb, leg. He sent me to a neurosurgeon who recommended a lumbar discectomy immediately, to try to save the damaged nerves. He said at 38, I was too young to be walking with a stick like my grandad used to! That was back in April. On April 7th, I went for surgery at 5pm. At 9am the morning after surgery, I was outta bed walking around the ward, with 95% of the feeing back in my leg and foot. Its now 3 months on, I'm back in work a month, and life is back to normal. I'm careful how I bend, don't overstretch myself, and don't try to lift heavy weights. I just get on with it, and have to remember that weak point will always be there behind me, waiting for me to forget and overdo it. My hobby is resto-modding watercooled VW's, but my days of lifting axles, engine blocks and gearboxes (transmissions to you guys!) are well and truly over. I got back into modelling while recuperating after surgery, and you guys and your work have entertained and inspired me over the last few months. So, my friend, I say to you...don't lose heart, you can be fixed, and life will go on, beyond the pain and the worries, and you'll be back at your workbench, nostrils filled with paint fumes, CA on your fingers, with your latest build taking shape in your hands. Keep well, and take care. Paul.

No, man, she's never been in a mag that I know of...?

So, I got back into modelling recently, while recovering from surgery....said I'd start posting some updates.... The first kit I'm attempting is this.... Which will be based on this, my weekend toy..... Body in paint - Hycote White Auto Primer and Hycote VW Tornado Red..... Watch this space for progress updates.....

I've a Jagermeister liveried one of those kits that I bought years ago! Must stick it up in the trade section, as I'll never build it! Think I've a Merc 190 DTM kit too.............

Great work there, Dave. And best of luck with the recovery too!

If there's anywhere that still sells these I'd buy about 10 sets, as I've a stack of Mk1 and Mk2 Golfs (Rabbits) to build!

Had a HSS drill bit remove the nail from my forefinger one day when I wasn't payin' attention! I'd say all you guys probably heard the swearin' and shoutin' on the other side of the Atlantic!

My weekend toy.... My 5-door daily.... My projects, which I picked up for free a few months back...

Some great pics there! Would love to make it to one of the big VW shows in the US sometime. Keep an eye on our Irish VW website gallery at www.vage.ie for some nice pics of our cars and shows we're attending this year.
