    I got a little bored and started working on a piece of resin... So I made my own engine (doesn't start yet). Next step is the wiring, and building the model car around it (I think I'll do a Mondial t as there are no models around)...

    See how it is a Motronic 2.5 non cat (1990) version?

    No danger of this one falling on my head when I'm working underneath it ;-)

    Just about 1/24 to 1/22 nd... something in that range. I want to do a 1-12 desktop model with moving crank / pistons, flywheels and differentials. I have a tiny moving alternator and PAS. just if I have time...
