looking good mike, always nice putting cars back together once they're painted! every bit just sets the paint of that bit more.
I like the bumper, the centre winch bit looks really neat, if it was mine though id be tempted to drop the end pieces down a bit so they sit level with the top of the winch if you get me? bet your itching to take it for a spin.

shock towers are done too :)

started with 120x120x500 box section.

cut a small hole in the inner wing, the other side will have a bigger hole but i dont think it will matter.
