Porsche Horror Show

Martin Oostrom
I bought this kit for my dad as a christmas/birthday gift. I already painted the body in a different colour and gave it back to him. He tried to put the kit together, but he quit, parts were ill-fitting etc. So I said I'd throw it together for him. Alas, if it weren't for my dad, I would have chucked it. Being a snaptite kit, tolerances are non-existent. Holes were closed, others too tight, others too wide.

Only two kinds of people should buy this:
- Masochists, there really is somebody out there loving you, don't buy this.
- Sadists, I think I saw Donald Trump give one of these to Mike Pence "To show my true feelings about your service in the last 4 years."

To be fair, the fit is probably period accurate for the vehicle. I've worked on enough 60s and 70s Beetles to attest to that. seems a little CA glue would sort those engine stickers out. Not very snap fit I know.

Nice Save BTW

Htanks Chaz. I'm not complaining about flush body panels. It's about pins not fitting into their holes. Brute force was needed to get the tub into the body. We're 5 hours later, and my thumbs are still sore from pressing on 1 specific part.

How did I miss this? Sure doesn't look like a horror! You did a bang up job, yet again!
