Here's proof I'm not totally lax. Little bit of progress.

Yes, yes...….. no.
I must confess it's from the rally 86 kit from Tamiya, thought I'd try to copy it, or at least bits of it. Interestingly it's actually a little too tall to fit, especially with the glass.
Looks the goods tho.

Still making slow progress with this one.
Decided to have a crack at scratch building a cage more to what I think should be right, the process is slow but better than other attempts.
