Not bad, but seems a little strange mechanically. I haven't seen the real car, but it seems that the cutouts for the wheels and suspension should be larger (and the frame, too). Besides that, the materials could use a little work.

Nice effort overall.

I like it. Just a few fine tunes and it would be perfect.

The paint needs a little work, if you look behind the front wheel the colour is distorted. But i am colourblind, so they say.

On a technical point of view, The suspension has to be thicker!!!

i wasnt going for 100% accuracy on the mechanical side of things as i wanted to get the model finished fairly quickly.
ill probably tweak those bits at a later time, i agree with the suspension being a bit small easily changed though.
wandering what you mean about the frame being to small though, You mean the body shape or the part where the wheels are attached. i Worked pretty closely to the blueprints for the body size so there shouldnt be much problems with that, there pretty small cars anwat.
