Nice car you have there!
What's the plan with the body?

Be careful with the aluminum screws, they tend to break off in the worst possible places. Use steel for anything that will see stress.

This one will be a shelfer, so no worry concerning screws you just have to use them on non-stressed places, just follow the note which comes with the screw set

Body will be a Proline, so I'm planing a Masami paint job

Your car appears to have the lower profile rear shock tower, as used in later model B3 kits - that shock tower is designed to fit with the low profile 6154 "Deja Vu Tu" body.

To finally address the body fitment question from a couple years ago:
@ Didiaz: does it mean that I could not use the 6124 body?


- I believe all B3 bodies will fit with the lower profile rear shock tower,
you just have to use slightly deeper cutouts for clearance of the shock tower arms, if you do not use the 6154 body...

(Warning: it has been some time since I really analyzed this issue, but this is my best recollection )

Guys, Niki has kindly done me a favour and done a design for shapeways for the wheels that a few drivers usrd at the 95 worlds in Japan on their B2/3's. Rear wheels that were flat faced with a button to hide the wheel nut. I was fortunate to have a few sets but when my drive changed i sold all but never the less these wheels were a stronger design and the car looked much better plus the Reedy wheel stickrrs fitted perfectly . Links below and bought the first pair yesterday.
