Sooo, other than the problems you mentioned, how was the kit itself? It looks great, issues aside. I have decals to do Janet Guthrie's early-career SCCA racer.
Thanks for any info!

Well rodsnracin, A nice kit, basic interior, half roll cage two seats from a road kit (I used one). You need to remove the basic body shell raised arches to fit the flared versions, steering works easily although room is limited.
The body fits the chassis unit easily. I would buy another, reprint the decals and everything would be OK. I lost one front clear indicator on the floor and just couldn't find it. I added alloy tube after shortening the exhaust.

Nice build! I like the old Celicas, they were very popular here in Sweden in the late 70's/early 80's !

Thanks chromecop, yes they were very popular here in the UK. A neighbour has an earlier one than this, his daily driver.

Thanks Bob. In the plans it says to mix orange and yellow for the original car colour, but as I use spray cans that's not possible.
