Looks great so far. I think the round arches make a huge difference. The flat tops were distinctive but rounded is more pleasing on the eye.
What are you doing about electrics, have you managed to reuse what was there?
I need a new loom so was thinking of getting one of these : http://rapidfitlooms.co.uk/modular-deluxe.htm |
Yep the engine and gear box is much longer and the gear stick should just fall to hand, may need slight bending of the stick but no remote extensions although I do have one if needed.
With the electrics we will have a complete loom made, in my case not dissimilar to to a standard Cobra Kit car range. I seem to recall the the old Scimitar was a nightmare with earthing etc and the loom is huge which reflects the amount of earth wires they ran. I would imaging it would be easier to have a new loom in yours rather than pick apart the existing one?
Don't worry I am not miles ahead just some rapid progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
