Structually it is fine. I am referring to the detail level. It is a great project to fix up; a modeller's kit.

The grab handles and railings could be replaced with brass wire. The driver's area could be detailed, especially the battery, dash, etc. The seats could be improved as the all look pretty uncomforatble now. There should be a canvas (or leather?) strip between the bonnet and firewall. If you're really keen you could try replace the solid grills on the engine side panels. New canvas doors. A few rivets here and there, new tools... whatever you take a fancy to to improve upon.

A great project.

Paul.
