Thank you for the praise!

We went a little further now.

Image

The engine is installed. Was quite easy. Everything was simply put together and fits without major modifications.

Image

The original engine mount of the suspension also holds the engine in place here.
In the latest version, I added pins so that everything is in the right place.

Image

Tires and rims also fit without rework.

Image

Almost finished interior.

Image

I only have to make small changes to the gearbox and adjust some of the alignment when printing.

Thank you very much!

Now the little one got his suspensions.

Everything really fits without a lot of grinding. Simply plug it together and apply some glue. Done!

Image

All units are also housed in the engine compartment. Looks pretty good so far.

And he's already standing on his fat little legs!
I like the wide tires.

I like the look of the wide tires too, splendid work! The fully detailed axles makes it very unique, even from underside. Looking forward to which version you will come up with finaly :)

In addition to other projects, I've been working on the escort lately.

In addition to the racing version, a rally version has now also been created.

The rally parts are still only available in CAD, but I will soon be able to show the real vehicle.
