Will it have graphics?

How about having it totally covered in decals identical to a current Nascar. Forget large saloon cars, its the first Nascar Tranny van.

To use bigger wheels, just make sure they fit under the arches. My 1st Mk3 Escort had EsCos wheels on that stuck out as I didnt cut them down enough. Then when I did, It was an amazing difference.

All of mine take ages too, but i'd rather do that than rush them and get them wrong or damaged.

Ive been doing one for about 6 months now, just an on off one. Pretty much totally custom one off never seen before or to be seen again but its 1/43.

No i never got the poxy models YOU promised, so dont ever fucking call me a liar!

And no i never held a grudge from ukford until you stiffed me!, you asked me to order rivets and parcel shelf straps, which i did, not shelf supports! they were second hand, and if they were too dear for you why say you wanted it all? dont make me post the fucking PM's!!!!

I sent you 28 quid and got fuck all, if you had a tracking no then you would of had to send it recorded delivery so where is the signature and who signed for it clever bolox?

Just give me my money back Al ! ! !
