Restored Mk1 scorcher
I got this off of ebay as a wreck but was very pleased with the shell. It had only been painted to a poor standard in the blue areas and had perfect roof rails etc. I removed the old stickers and paint and preped and sprayed it with Halfords automotive paint. I used Ford Daytona Blue which is an exact match of the box art blue. I used a subtle beige off white which is really cool and retro looking. I was patient and bought original Tamiya stickers instead of reproduction ones. A good tip for the side chrome is to stick double sided tape to aluminium foil and cut thin strips with a scalpel. The rest of the car was stripped cleaned, ball raced etc. It spends most of the time on the shelf but I took it to Cornwall for some cool beach running. Hope you like it
