A Monogram L'IL Coffin. From ebay here in the UK for £10 as it is already used/started etc, as you can see it's in bits. The owner painted most things gold and tried to stick the chrome parts on top of the paint, but also without removing the chrome plating. I'm stripping the paint from the back axle/driveshaft and the engine block as most of the chrome parts began to fall off once I handled them. The hinges on both the doors and body are broken in one way or another and I will try to replace them.  A 'new' kit here costs about £50-£100! |

Ah man !!
Lil Coffin is one of my favourite kits of all time, even with the damage/paint issues, you got a result there all right !
Glad I didn't see it, we would have had a bidding war !!
Look forward to the resurrection of this beautiful rod !

Love this little kit, one of the coolest kits to have many years ago, the prices are ridiculous now days. I turned my last one into a Van..  |

I have one of these kits in the stash I bought years ago. I'm gonna get around to building it one of these days. Looking forward to watching this build Pat.

Sorry guys! I don't know what they stuck it together with but it's in no shape to mess with so it's gone! Pre-painted before assembly, no chrome scraped of to stick together, too much damage even before I started!
