[Mr. ED]

Just having fun with this old boy. Bit of work still but a good deal done already too.

He he , love it , is that a reliant kitten body ?

Thanks. I have no idea what the reliant kitten is. This a first gen vw golf. It had very wide wheel fenders and small wheel arches. It's actually poorly modeled and molded. Almost like a garden shed project.

Are you familiar with "only fools and horses" ? The three wheel van is based on a Reliant Robin , the Kitten was the 4 wheel version , its kind of a bad joke , over in the UK three wheel cars were classified the same as a motorcycle and side car so young people could drive one at an earlier age than a 4 wheel car so we had a few 3 wheelers in the 1960-70 period , but Reliant made a 4 wheel version .....nobody ever knew why ?

[Mr. ED]

Oh yeah; with Del-boy right?

That's the one , I'd post a picture of a Kitten but Imgur is messing about but that looks so like a Kitten , they were a fibre glass jelly mould car on a tiny budget.

well they unintentionally made a very good job at copying the model and quality on this scaled down version

Device some bodymounts: done, hide the uglly old asymmetric holes: done, fix servo and add turnbuckles: done.
To do: deck for receiver and esc, battery lock and... That's it I guess.
