Started this two weeks ago and progress has been slow do to house remodeling.I took advantage of the long weekend and got everything painted.The body is Tamiya green metallic and the interior is pearl green over a silver base and tan.Had to get the dremel out and sand the outside of the interior as it didn't fit right in the body.

I think you have your side windows mounted wrong though, they mount from the inside of the body

Your right about the windows.The instructions are kind of confusing and did fix them.

It's weird to see that car with wires. I wonder if they released that kit at one point as a low rider? The interior looks great, as does the paintwork. Bonus: No decals!!
	Just keep picking away at it...
