Kit contains 84 pieces with some optional parts that are not required.
A rare find. If you can get your hands on one I highly recommend this kit.
Injection molded, very clean with minimal to no flash on the parts. Fit and finish is excellent! The door glass did need a bit of work to clean up the openings.
The body consists of 6 parts. The main body, right and left body intakes (In the door area), rear tail section and exhaust panel area (Exhaust is only out one side but has panels on both sides).
I had a slight fit problem with the rear tail section and had to fill a seam (Which should be visible if done correctly)
The kit has some options to it. The passenger side (This is a RH drive car) has two options, a louvered exhaust panel (Not shown), and the passenger side body intake can be matched to the drivers side or you can use the wide open intake shown here.
This kit is curb side (No engine) but does have a partial trans showing from the rear and full interior detail.
Some masking is required to get the black cut in around the window but a very simple paint scheme to duplicate, it doesn't get much easier.
A white decal is supplied to cover the top of the door glass but I painted mine so everything matched a little better.
No chrome tree on this kit so the wheels will have to be done with Alclad http://www.alclad2.com/ or your favorite chrome paint.
