Talking Hiya

Thanks for the welcome mentalist'!

Orite sounds like the best option to me then.

I've just recieved the model from ebay topday and im realy looking foward to startin the project now, i just need to get some seats, an exhaust and a spoiler as i have already got the wheels sorted. I was thinking of turning it into a convertible replica of the m3 gtr as i have not seen any of these any where in convertible form! Let me know what you all think of the idea?? I will also be posting some pics of the model up later on today before i get started on it.

Thanks
