started cleaning all the flashing on the body, sanding small imperfections and scribing the door panels, although I slipped in a few points 🙁 

another slip of my hand. Will take care of filling these at a later point, before priming. 

got some lovely Scale Production BBS RS 16" rims to go with this car. 

the original position will give a bit too much clearance on the wheel arc and to give it a better look I will need to lower it of about one millimetre. 

the provided adapter is way too large for the male pin that is found in the kit. 

looks like a section of the sprue fits perfectly in the hole! 

the whole rear suspension is all interlinked, some work will be needed in order to adjust the ride height. 

I decided to shave off one millimetre off the edge of the bottom and seal the hole with a small bit of pla 

on the other side. The plastic in this kit is particularly soft and it's really easy to cut through. 

I snipped off the center pin, added a small pla round sheet of 1 millimetre to look more like a disc brake and glued the new larger pin in the centre 

the rear is done! the position looks perfect. Once I have the rim painted I will be able to fit it and adjust the spacing and ensure it sits flush with the fender. 

Spent a good amount of time breaking apart the front subframe to be able to lower it at will 

This also included forging a brand new strut bar using a 0.8 copper wire, and having live junctions that allow me to tilt open the front suspension arms.
