Heller 1/8 traction avant cabrolet conversion

[Guest]

Hi all another update, the canvas roof is causing me lots of problems, so much so it may end up with a non working roof and just have it displayed in the open position. The bonnet and wings are not fixed just positioned to see how much giggling I will need to do to get a good fit, the bonnet is supposed to be fitted with a piece of rubber on my first build it proved to be a very bad system which tended to come unglued after it had been opened a couple of times, I bought a piano hinge for that job instead, I'm having to keep shaving bits off the front grill to stop it fouling the grill (very slow job as I don't want to shave too much off and have a gap between the grill and the bonnet) with a little forethought I should have cut the hinge a little shorter.






Here's my first build of this at a similar stage.

Hi all got the doors on and made some door pockets for them, still have to do the catches to keep the doors shut but liking it so far.

This build is severely lacking in posts from the other forum members! Great work and progress. Look forward to the imminent conclusion

Thanks mate, here is another update (I'm afraid I've given up on a working hood so it will be fixed in this position in the finished thing.

Hi all, next update, nearing the end now.

Hi all nearly at the end now, there are so many more things I could add to this but I think I will just finish it as it is, I must say I much preferred the first build of it and I think it's more interesting to look at when I build the next one it will be in more of a state than the first one.
