The rear suspension contains enough
parts for realistic appearance, but I had to scratchbuild the coils
because they had a noticeable pin mark. The disk brakes were
also scratchbuilt by using a piece of plastic and I modified aftermarket
parts to represent the calipers. The brake lines were also added as
shown in the picture.
The engine is basically straight out of the box.
I added the plug cords and scratchbuilt the oil filter. Washing technique was
used when I painted the engine. The plated cam covers are from the kit.
The first attempt to make the fuel filter
failed
since I made it too big. I kept the big one for another 1/24th scale project, and I
made a smaller one. Those tiny bolts were made by using a mechanical pen with the
tip sharpened by a file.
The brake fluid tanks were removed from the firewall,
and the fuel filter was installed as shown.
