    For all the problems with the kit I would be very pleased with that result. Well done for sticking with it.

    You call this a "drop in" build? You're not supposed to FINISH it - it's supposed to go on for months! There is always someone messing with the curve. Sigh.

    Shame about the problems the old spit still looks good though there is no way a manufacturer can mess up the over all look of a spit.

    That's a great result especially given all the grief the kit threw up at you Paul :th:

    Really well done for sticking with it and getting it over the line :cheers2:

    And thanks for dropping in and being the first to finish one :)
    Cheers, Neil
