Hi all another update

[Guest]

As 007's enemies would say, Very Interesting Mr Bond! It's great! I remember decades ago seeing a similar set up but fully enclosed rear at Silverstone Circuit whilst marshalling, a fully enclosed 6 wheel version, 2 at the front and four at the back. It had been built and was being used by the then World Sidecar Racing Champion Team from I think it was Holland, carry the outfit in the back under cover. When they got to the circuit the driver pulled one of the levers between the seats for the hydro-suspension and dropped on the ground and pushed the outfit out straight onto the ground without ramps! I at the time had a few Citroen BX's that could do the same!

Hi all had a bit of a catastrophe.



But I've managed to fix it

Hi all attemped the roof rack (soldering is another of my achillies heels)

[Guest]

Hi all here is the next update (those opening doors were a nightmare) there are 2 tiny pins with corresponding holes in the inner door skins which have the hooks for the hinges in the door posts thing is if you put the doorskin in those pins the chrome trim won't align and the door droops so what I ended up doing was using liquid cement on the joins hanging the inner door then putting the outer skin up to it and using clamps to hold them in place till the glue sets.

Hi Ken
A lot of progress since I last looked in. A cracking job, lots of scratching and many problems solved.
Almost there now.
