Ok fellas.......the Bentley is gonna be a slow project mainly coz ferkin` about changing/adding stuff etc takes it`s time, so in the meantime i thought what the heck....lets get this rally GB rollin`and i can dip in and out of the Bentley as i please whilst waiting for sticky stuff to dry......so hopefully i`ll try and up date both as and when........bit like a `conveyor belt`.....`eh Paul Never done a Belkit before so this is a new one on me , from first impressions it looks very nice indeed detail wise......only....in white!!  , not a lover of white kits but that wont be for long
Some spru shots.........tried to get as much detail in the pics as i could but coz IT`S WHITE!! it was difficult to photee with my `ol camera
     The unmistakable shape of the MK1
The vinyl parts of mud flaps/spats etc......and there is a utility pouch which runs across inside the rear of the car to put stuff in (which is included btw)
Two sets of tyres....one dirt, one road..........i`ll use the dirt ones
The glazing and also the chrome..........which isn`t half bad as it happens, there are two light bezels for the elongated or round headlamps (i`ll be using the round option)
A small etch set with the seat belt release/buckles etc....and some tiny chrome FORD logos for the boot/bonnet
Two lots of webbing style seat belts to go with the etch buckles (that`ll be feckin` fun i bet!!).....colour choice optional
And a few decs to enjoy..
We`ll see what develops from here HUH!! 
No glue has been harmed yet coz believe it or not i gotta paint stuff first
