Super but where can I buy one, the model that is?

That's OK Dave there are so many different cars and engines about over so many years!

It's getting better and better every day!

Cheers Noel.

Thanks Dave for the info. On Wikipedia it says a 2.6Litre Rover V64V motor.

Thanks steveracer!

Half way there! This is the kit of the Metro 6R4 rallycar of 1986. The original engine was a Rover V8, but as there wasn't room for the big V8 so the rear two cylinders were cut off! Four wheel drive was fitted for maximum grip and as allowed with any World Rally Car to be as fast as possible. Also it was my first go at making seatbelts with the photo-etch and fabric, very stressful, I think I'll stick to decals.

Thanks Dan!

Now that's what I'd like!

Thanks for showing the superb photo's. Whereabouts was the show, our son is in Calgary?

Super Build up!

Now, That's better!

Thanks for all of your input!

This shows the USA and UK Road differences. I can't see that on our roads as it would get around our roundabouts and only be used on what we call Motorways or you call Freeways! Or our classed roads 'A' and 'B'. A roads through towns and B roads through villages, far too wide and long!

Thanks guys! I've actually made two seat belts that go over the back to a fixing and lay on the front of the seat. They only took about an hour! Now, tomorrow perhaps two more! OH what do you use to cut the photo-etch from their sprue please?

Cheers Greg I'll try that today, thanks.

I'm building a rally car and tape and photo etch buckles have come with the kit, but the tape (seat belt material) is difficult to get through the photo-etch buckles. I've tried to cut a pointed end on the tape but it's still to wide to get through the buckle! I've had this problem many times before, even to print my own seat belt decals. What am I doing wrong?

The new one will be painted grey runny gloss finish 'attempted renovation'! Plus my first attempt with woody decals and two alloy tubes, slide up & down action instead of fixed 'open or closed'.

At 1/2 price on ebay UK: Having built one with timber decal sides etc. I shall do this as a poor renovate with runny gloss grey brush paint!

Cheers Carl!

Thanks Bruce.

Cheers guys!

So, just won on ebay UK, We have a programme on TV called Shed and Buried, where they look for old cars, trucks, tractors, motorcycles and auto memorabilia, to buy, restore and sell on. This era of motorcycle is the sort of thing they find, get started, carefully restore, not to damage it's patina, but to safely be able to ride on the road for pleasure!

Thanks guys!

Do you include motorcycles on this?
