    I've got the remains of a monoshock RR in my loft. I think it is the type you are talking about obvious done by some race nut, as the rest of the chassis and all metal bits has hundreds of holes drilled in it, presumably to make it lighter.

    I'll post pic later.

    Repro decals thats always a good topic - crops up about every three months or so but always seems to peter out for some reason... not quite sure why. Maybe it just turns out to be more hassle and hardwork than people imagine.

    Hope you guys have better luck.

    With regards ot decals on the site, it is something we are working on but the system is not there yet. You can put them in your showroom but as Micky points out the system reduces them to 1024 pxels wide and 72dpi regardless of what you scanned them at. It has to do this for storage reasons. This makes your scans ok for visual reference but I think you will be disappointed if you try and print them out.

    Not sure about that one Theo...

    Just explain how you would define a 'perfect restore' if its all new bits then is it not a 'New Built'?

    Maybe 'restored' as a category should just go - as it is more a process as opposed to an end result like the other. You could restore something to a runner, to NIB, to shelf queen etc etc etc.

    This is all proving to be quite tricky.

    I think we just need to push this forward a little, as I see that people are still classifying some of thier cars wrongly, particularly under NIB and New built then they obviously are not.

    a standard set of definitons is a good starting part...

    quote:
    NIB/New in Box - exactly as it says - original package, with everything there as the day it was sold.

    New built - Built from entirely new parts (Should we distinguish between those built from new parts and those built straight out of the box)

    If a new built is run - how many test drives are allowed before it becomes something else?

    Runner - a regularly used model

    id=quote>id=quote>

    or like i said I think some simple standard questions might be an idea.

    what do you lot think?

    If you don't know how to use WinZip don't worry about it. It doesn't make the files any smaller, just lumps them together which makes managing them at this end a little easier. Its not a big thing.

    Just send the files through attached to an email. My system can take them all on one mail, but if its easier for you to split them up and send them on seperate ones then thats fine too. Just make sure its very clear what manual they all are intended for

    Cheers

    I use brasso (the brass polish too) on metal and plastic bits (if I want them shiney) - its works wonders.

    I also use it to rub down my newly painted hard bodies (makes sure you have enough paint on first) and it brings it up to a mirror shine.

    To remove stick stuff like decal residue, double sided tape etc I use lighter fluid.
