Yes, a 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider would have had drum brakes, not drilled discs with red calipers, but this build is meant to be a bit of a resto-mod. Discs and calipers are from Model Car Garage, and wheels and tires from Scale Production. The chassis was also lowered about 2.5 mm.
The dashboard is well presented in this kit. The decals looked poor but a coat of clear saved them.
The purists will complain that the lowered suspension and Minilites are, well, sacrilege; as I have another kit of this car, I can afford to build one lightly rodded. The rear wheels do extend a bit far out of the fenders, but this is caused by the inner fenders which I would have had to cut out to improve things.
I particularly like this view of the car, with the iconic grille unencumbered by a front bumper.
The roll bar, which is probably from the Tamiya Lotus Seven kit, is a bit short.
What's next? No idea. Stay tuned!
