As you build this, can you take some photos and put them in the "projects" section for us all to see.... gonna be as good as some of the others in there Im sure. What bhp are you hoping to get???. Take your time, dont bodge on the quality parts and when you spray the bodywork, dont stick it in a low bake oven or it might end up looking like a fried egg.....

That looks like a better kit that my one, and what I was looking for but couldn't find. The parts in mine are all white, even the body. Instead of using a tin and brush I went and got some subaru blue in a spray can. Where did you get it?

Got it off ebay. Think it was £12 plus P&P.
