When George Turner moved from his workshop at Shoebury he had a clearout and sold off surplus bits including this painted Allard J2 body which was from his original Allard display model. There was no chassis so I decided to use a Penelope Pitlane chassis but didn't realise just how many problems that full interior would cause. 
 
 I have been working on this on and off for at least 6 weeks and after carving so much out of the underside that parts of the interior are almost wafer thin and making and fitting at least five sets of body posts it is pretty much finished. The easier alternative would have been to use a slimline Pitlane chassis but I am not a fan of slimline motors. 
 I still need to make a screen, find the missing knock off and touch up the interior where I took out the passenger but I don't think there is anything left that can do badly wrong now. 
 
 It still sits a little bit high but there is nothing left to cut away and at least it allows for a bit of body rock to help the handling. I am just pleased to have finished one of the most frustrating builds that I have ever started. 

   

   

 Time to have a rummage in the projects drawers an find another victim.
