roy told you the yellow interior would look the bollocks

steve, i finished putting together that box of bits today - i reckon theres a fair few bits worth casting! eg;
autoart oz superturismos
large oz 10spokes
momo arrows
low top buckets & harnesses
high top buckets & harnesses
2 or 3 other types of seats
LOADS of speakers, amps , nos bottles etc
couple of rear spoilers
steering wheels
etc

should be useful, the rest can just be binned if its no good

Lovely looking MK1 .. just looks so right the way it sits on those rims
Do you find that as much as you like a model you have been working on, it gets on your tits because of the time and effort you put into it ! and you want to get shot of it because it gave you so much hassle ! ..if you know what i mean !
