    Front side windows and hinges.
    These hinges took ages to make as the as so small, yet to be polished (this might have to be machine polished given they are so small)

    Hopefully fit these over the weekend.

    Seat inserts and side panels roughed out, these will be finished (smoothed) and then ready for upholstering.

    Decided not to use the fiberglass insert that came with the body as the fit was not good.

    The small blue shell is from Dax sports cars, the larger grey shell is an older one from the USA that I may take a molding from once its cleaned up a bit and a few changes made; front bonnet scope changed, removable boot and bonnet added.

    The Dax one is perfect for small children and is a really good finish, I sourced the other one so big kids (me) could also fit :-)
