Mal_Belford Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Allright... Time to put the bar up a few notches on this build i think.... Spark plugs, them spark plugs...only a tiny lump casting on them heads to simulate spark plugs, drill them smal lumps away....well...as usual, got to try do new ones, used the isolation from a vga cable, and then copperwire, experimenting here wich will work, well, i think this will do just fine.... yes they will be trimmed to proper lengts, they are sligtly to long...as i said, just trying and testing....this will work i think. /Mal Edited December 27, 2014 by Mal_Belford EmperorKai, Anthony in NZ and karimb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad things happen.....accidently snapt a engine part, that round tube that the ingition wires goes from....heres a pic on that part that needs to be scratched (ive took a pic from my other zero to use as a template for the new one) also looked at some reference pics.... well several hours later, this is MK III i tries, and this is a go....learning the art of scratchbuilding.... /Mal Uncarina, Girlscanplay2 and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
