Re: Roys 356 Project
Nice one. I take it you are getting your kit from Kit Car centre? If you need help or advise give me a shout my Dad builds 356 kits for a hobby.

Re: Roys 356 Project
Thanks for the encouragement guys.
The bug is in a reasonable condition. (Besides the mandatory rust under the battery)
My plan is to have the chassis sorted to coincide with the Christmas bonus (holding thumbs on the bonus) I will be getting the Replicars kit. (ex KCC moulds?)
I will advertise the body when the time comes. There won’t be too much going to waste.
Cheers
