Factory Body Fit

[barriejames]

Just a quick pic for all those considering a build, do it, you wont regret it. A quick pic of my body going on at the factory (a part of the build which I felt far better in their hands) to cheer up a miserable wet November night!!

Agreed 100%. Here's my body pre-fit underway a few months back:

Not hard to do just requires time, patience and attention to detail.
You can't fit the panels one at a time you need to pretty much assemble them all together so you can tweak each to achieve the correct fit.

I did mine initially.. Very awkward especially if you want to truly do it alone.
As Steve say ... attention to detail. The car is not symmetrical so what you do on one side isn't necessarily what you will do on the other side.
I think it took me about 4 weeks to get the body right in the end so you need to have patience ............... and lots of thinking time about it, this is not an airfix kit lol.

Once I finished the car I was glad i had done the fit ... I built the car.

By far my most favourite factory colour.

It shouldn't be an option.

Make sure that you drill additional mounting holes before you remove the body and take lots of photos, make lots of markings on the parts before you take the body off.

I still love to see the shape of these cars coming together. Great color choices.

Racing Roj, Make that 3 Kawasaki green GTR's. Although mine is a repsray with a pink and gold fleck

[barriejames]

Very nice indeed

I keep thinking the green cars need ZX350ci emblazened across the side, super bike style

I havent donea panel allignment but was planning on taking the back clam off, as long as I mark it should be too much bother getting it back in the right place no?

If you just remove the bolt that goes through the ball joint. Watch out for any spacer washers and replace them in the same place that they came from and you should be able to put it back in the same place. No probs...
