(not mine pics however, these are from the auctions)
FYI I already sold the "abominations" (for 1/2 the entire sum I paid for all of this and I'm still left with the Lotus Super 7 ), unfortunately the Super GT wasn't in the package when I received it, but I didn't needed it anyway!
As I'm now with my camera, here's some closer look at some of the gems:

This one I eventually plan to have the window frames fixed and repainted. Then fitted with a black interior


This Lotus Europa is pretty much my first model with thin wheels:


Also very proud of the two Mustangs and two Hot Rocker Capri's!


I'm now looking forward sourcing window screens, wheel sets and interior, so far going great

[fixer]

The #8 without the interior I would leave alone, looks like one for the oops page as riveting looks good and I can't see how the interior could be removed because of the tow hook

[motorman]

I agree with Reg, if the rivet is good and sound on that Mustang then how did it loose its interioir and glazing? Factory error??

If it is an error piece i would leave it well alone.

[RacingFreak]

Definitely not a factory error guys! I wasn't sure at first either, but then I realized that as it's a plastic interior it could be broken into pieces.. well whoever did that has no life! When I carefully removed the outer part of the rivet and took out the base, there was a wee bit small plastic remain stuck in the place of what once was a tow hook (additionally you can also notice some marks on the window screen frame at the top front, as if from a knife or some other tool with sharp cutter).

Either way I have bought them solely to be repaired, they didn't cost me much too (a mint one cost insane amount of money!). Wheel axles were already bent (I've now fixed the rear ones) and it was just crying to be restored, so I've now fitted in the interior (which had to be cleaned from the junk inside too) from the other one on it. I've decided I might instead get brand new wheel sets from Mikro and an window glazing probably from a regular wheels one and it will be ready. I can't believe I even got them as I didn't think I would ever get just one in any condition, after seeing the prices last year

PS
I now remember the base was tilting around wee bit and the rivet already had some "space" inbetween the base, you can see it in the pic, however I don't mind it. The normal Capri was unriveted aswell.

Please let us all see some images of your finished customs RacingFreak.

And thanks for clearing up our question on the Mustang.

[RacingFreak]

Oh I definitely will post some pics of the finished Capri project and the Mustangs. I also have some ongoing Gran Fury, Racing Mini, RX-7 aswell as crapload of unfinished stuff from last year

Well I'm glad I cleared it up, I tend to inspect very carefully models that go in my possession and then decide what to do with them

BTW I'm surprised you didn't notice the black Miura interior!

[numi]

I see that ure running a Chop Shop......
Please let us have some pics after restoration.

Actually i did, and my heart raced on seeing it!!!

I should really be applauding you, as you would have had to have destroyed a Bulgarian #33 to get it So in that regards well done.

One less abomination to annihilate , are you starting to see sense RacingFreak??
