The plan

The first thing to say is that I don’t plan to add any aftermarket accessories, just try and do the best I can from what’s in the box and use some bits and bobs from the spares box and scratch a few small items.

The most obvious addition will be the need for some seat belts and harness and I might scratch these for a bit of fun, if I can make a half-decent job of it – you don’t always need to reach for the wallet, do you?
