Interior of the Focus rally car is done. While these ribbons were much easier to cut to size they definitely were much harder to actually use. They're obviously much thicker than the thin plastic they intend you to use, and as such some of the routing (like going back through the buckles again) is physically impossible. Not only that, but fighting with the fraying ends was a complete nightmare. By the end I had gotten sick of it and half assed the belts for the 2nd seat. I've probably spent at least an hour on my hands and knees combing through my carpet trying to find the buckles when they would keep jumping out of my tweezers. I also realized when it was far too late that I got the seats switched, so I guess this car is from an alternate universe where Nicky was the driver and not Colin.
I now firmly know I never want to build a race car with a 6 point harness ever again unless I can get a premade one. If they were photoetch like most aircraft belts are, I don't think it would have been this hard and I'd be willing to take that trade off for not looking as good or realistic.
On to the suspension and underside next probably. I'm really not looking forward to doing the exterior decals at all. Wish me luck
