What I use to do for work and fun, wife always had trouble when I would go out the door and say "off to work sweetie see you when I get home". She just thought playing with toys all day was not work, the truth is we were designing and manufacturing new parts all day - not playing with them. Really! :innocent

A couple of the parts I was able to make were the 1995 Volvo 850 Estate in 10th scale along with the 1996 Saloon - received licensing from Volvo USA for these. Anyone else here that use to play with toy cars...... :playcar

I have a couple of R/C E30 M3's. One is the same as my full size one, except the parts are cheaper obviously.

Parts are a lot less costly and much easier to pick up and install - no laying on the ground to work on the bottom - just flip them over.
