Hellers 1/8 traction avant cabriolet conversion

Impressive

Hi all here's the next update.

Hi all next update.

This also has working adjustable seats

Hi all here's the next bit I decided to do something really different with the paint job then couldn't resist trying it all together I need to add a lot of lacquer to it yet but I'm quite pleased with it so far.

Hi all the next update.

Hi all another update, the canvas roof is causing me lots of problems, so much so it may end up with a non working roof and just have it displayed in the open position. The bonnet and wings are not fixed just positioned to see how much giggling I will need to do to get a good fit, the bonnet is supposed to be fitted with a piece of rubber on my first build it proved to be a very bad system which tended to come unglued after it had been opened a couple of times, I bought a piano hinge for that job instead, I'm having to keep shaving bits off the front grill to stop it fouling the grill (very slow job as I don't want to shave too much off and have a gap between the grill and the bonnet) with a little forethought I should have cut the hinge a little shorter.






Here's my first build of this at a similar stage.

Hi all here is the next update.

Hi all got the doors on and made some door pockets for them, still have to do the catches to keep the doors shut but liking it so far.

Hi all here is another update (I'm afraid I've given up on a working hood so it will be fixed in this position in the finished thing

Nice, man that thing is huge.

Hi all here is the next update.

Hi all, next update, nearing the end now.

Hi all nearly at the end now, there are so many more things I could add to this but I think I will just finish it as it is, I must say I much preferred the first build of it and I think it's more interesting to look at when I build the next one it will be in more of a state than the first one.

HI all well it's finally done I've posted some pics of the first build just to show the complete difference between them.
Personally I think the more interesting build is the first one (it's by far and away the one I enjoyed the most)













And it's final resting place.

Hi all well after someone on you tube stole one of my wip builds and posted it as their own I decided to beat them all to it and post all my builds on there first so this is my first (thanks iceman on how to do it) obviously I'm new to this and this is my first post on there, here is a link to it
