I built the engine first, it was a hard task to assemble the all-sparate exhaust pipes. I added the spark plug wiring from 0.3 mm aluminum wire and painted the wire flat red. |

I applied Alclad chrome as the base coat. |
 |
| Then I airbrushed 3 coats of clear red glass paint. I will have to do some polishing. |

I mounted the front and rear axle groups on the chassis. |
 |
| It was real pain to mount the rear assembly. The mating parts of the components were not precise as they should be, so I had some hard time to group them in proper geometry. I made the final fixing with CA glue. |

2007:
The dashboard was given in two parts (which I find unnecessary apart from aiming for some putty and sanding operation), so I applied automotive polyester putty after glueing the two parts, then sanded smooth. |
 |
| I applied tan flocking locally, to depict a leather and fabric composition in the doors and seats. |

2007:
I covered the dashboard with dark grey flocking, but in scale it did not show close to reality. So I airbrushed a light coat of flat black over, and compressed the flocking so it finally looked better. |
