The Ha shows more stars in the Trapezium
but they are very faint.
2 subframes, 30s & 60 s stacked in DSS.
first poly bush fitted on the front N/S. The inserts are about 2mm shorter than the combined height of the bush itself os I just got it as centred as possible.
These came with no instructions other than "E36 SUB F" or "R" embosed on the poly bits so I think I at least got that bit right
We haven't yet been given the screws or instructions on fitting the lower deck structure or front bulkhead to the subframe structure, but I have put everything loosely together for the pictures.
This is the completion of issue 50 of the bus, a significant milestone. I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the parts, most of which are metal and heavy, plus the very clear instructions with each magazine. I had a delay right back at the beginning with one delivery but (touch wood) everything else has arrived without any problems, including the bonus gifts, although I am aware that some other subscribers have experienced some serious problems.
Some parts have been fiddly to put together, mainly because I have adult sized hands and my fingers can't always get into the hard to reach places.
So far, the only modification I have made is very minor. the handbrake as supplied was just plain brown. I added black paint to the top handgrip and silver chrome to part of the mechanism to make it look more realistic. As I mentioned on another picture, I may well paint the screws in the back of the seats to lessen their impact.
MGF subframe - removed all the rust, and painted in Isopon "Zinc 182" primer. This is the first stage in the RUST PROTECTION PLAN!
Left side view of mostly complete Engine fitted to subframe, exhausts dry fit. Most of this kit is going ok, I think a slightly better breakdown of the engine would have made a big difference on this kit, with maybe 5-8 more pieces it would have been great. Those most notable being the clutch assembly and gearbox cover plate.
