Hi All Just a wee up date on my build progress. I haven't been out at the kit much due to the weather and work plus the other half wanting the decorating done. Spent any spare time ordering parts so when the good weather returns I can crack on with the build. Some photo's of the new bits that have arrived. i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb376/abaird121/Breather.jpg[/IMGCheers Andy

Presume the first photo is for the internal side panels? Where did you get these from and did they cut to your specific size? Love the steering wheel.

I have used these guys as well, very helpful and they can do any size sheet you require, not just the ones listed on ebay.
Andy can you let me know who you got your mirrors from?

Hi All
I Haven't updated for a few week but with the good weather I have got a few jobs done.
First was to make a new home for the sonic as I don't have a garage and it is a pain having to remove the the covers that is held down with ropes. The new cover just lifts off in one move.
Other Jobs done on the car itself was the steering wheel fitted, front lights fitted, side & Front repeaters lights fitted, Front screen fitted & started to fit the front wheel arches. I will try and get sum photo's on forum on Monday as I'm working all weekend.
I'm thinking off contacting RTR to see about getting the IVA done by them and also to see them about setting up the suspension, Steering & Brakes.
Cheers Andy

Hi Andy, the build looks great, I'm also building a Sonic, as yet haven't posted any pictures, I noticed your harnesses , are they short or long type? I must crack on, but illness has made it difficult for the last 6 months. Fiddling with seat bracket building at the present , with electrics 75% complete. Like yourself I would like RTR to do there IVA service , but as yet they haven't replied with time scales. Best of luck, Mark.

Hi Mark
Thanks for your reply mark. I don't know if they are short or long. They where listed just as 4 point harnesses but look to me as if they will be long enough for the sonic but I have not fitted them yet.
Hope to see some photo's off your build soon & that your health improves so you can get on with your build.
All the best Andy
