Well that was easy, i sealed the decals with std MRP semi gloss clear. They soaked well, released in about 10 seconds and no sign of smudging despite being std Ink jet inks on white decal paper
resolution on the decals is as good as any professional decals i have seen so a result

Chassis bulkhead or engine bulkhead if you prefer
Wiper motor built in and some other bits i need to identify.
Floor sitting on the underside
Bulkhead added to the above.
Is there no end to the crudity As i keep reminding myself, what we have here is all the basics to build something, how far you go is up to you
One thing for sure, this cant be done with just one can of paint. I think it will need 3 finish colour and at least 2 high gloss clear.
Not sure what i will do with the inside, i am thinking black carpet and seats with blue door cards and trim on centre consul etc but i am not sure even what material; to use. This is big scale and you could almost get away with a real carpet but it would be too thick to get it to take a shape.
Onward men into unknown territory !!

Like you said, Paddy, you can go as far as you like on big scale kits. It would almost be a crime if ya didn't. But then again, that is entirely up to the builder. Whether it's a full-blown intense detailed build, or OOTB, we know you'll crank out a beauty, either way.
At least it gave you a voltage regulator. The battery looks more like an upside down planter.

Yeah they did the Battery to do mold release 60's style.

It is a voltage regulator John used in conjunction with a dynamo and incorporating a regulator/rectifier. Std it would have been positive earth but by swapping the battery leads and holding the contacts down in the Reg/Rec you could force the system into negative earth and then use a Alternator.
The 4TR was a voltage control unit used with alternators and built into later ones.

Voltage Regulators - 30 AMP 12V Blade - Replaces NCB121, NCB131, NCB133, RB340
Negative earth, positive earth. Sounds like a Star Trek episode.

Looking good. You could use Flocking for the carpet and even the seats, unless they are leather.
Maybe this will help for leather work? http://www.italianhorses.net/tutorials/Leather 101/lthr.htm
