Ok then, so the new tyres are fitted and the body trimmed for paint these tyres make it look soooo much better I still need to adjust the body mounts to suit and then its on to the motor rebuild and to make rear chassis stabilizing rod

So with my limited time lately, all I managed to do with this is properly mount the body I'm very happy with how it fitted up though

So today was definitely painting day Since I was at the shops with wifey, I decided to get creative with my paint scheme for this I picked up a 1000 piece puzzle and some blue tack for $6 While I was waiting for the paint to harden on the Lancia shell, I applied the window masks (nice to have some pre-cut ones for a change!) and started sticking puzzle pieces all over the place Anyway black first a few spot colours, backed with white then pulled the protective film off and she's a beaut Still need to add a couple of decals but very happy with the result

That's really not to my taste, but I do like the way the pieces not being completely stuck down has resulted in drift under the edges, which has actually improved the overall look

What are you going to with the other 874 bits of jigsaw?

Saving them for a rainy day

So I picked up this T-Maxx 2.5 from a local trade site, it had a few obvious issues and a few not so I stripped it completely and made the list......... F/R skid plates, complete rear diff internals, set of drive shafts, body mount kit, body and plenty of cleaning So here's where I started to now, still need to rebuild engine and refit radio...

Thanks mate, I really should apply the decals to it

Just for the detailing like lights and front grill. For me it is enough
