Fujimi Lotus 97T sold at least. But I feel, that I have to build this car in 1/43 scale, because your work is very inspirating! Congratulation!

Looking through my PE sheets for this car and I found out I have the "straps"
that are welded around the intercooler to keep it from popping.

Thank you. I wish this build would move quicker but I'm trying to stay as close to the original as possible. The aftermarket parts definitely slow the rate of a normal out of the box build.

Will have to cut those threaded spindles to size with a dremel.
