    Default The tundrafox S7 STi build

    Hey guys, I posted on the FB page but I figured I'd post here too. The kit has arrived and the build has officially started! If you're interested in following the progress, I created an Instagram account for it called @tundrafox_build. I'll be posting there for the most part, maybe on here a little bit too.

    I believe you will get a lot more, relevant help if you post here. This forum is categorized, searchable, and the first place most people come for help or to give good tips/advice. Just sayin.

    Thanks guys, I fully intend on getting my technical information and advice from here but just using Instagram to post regular content and updates for the people who just like watching the progress that might not have an interest or need for the forums.

    Alright guys, I'm caving. I will just suck it up and learn how to post to forums. I've been working diligently on the build and do feel like it's coming along but still have a long way to go. I've just hit 60 build hours and have the rudder pedals, control column, push rods, and some other minor stuff all done. I've had to skip around a couple things while waiting on some missing horizontal ribs. Really enjoying it so far though.

    Nice job! Yes, It is enjoyable.

    I'm a little bit ahead but not by much.
    I need to start a thread on my build as well...

    Funny..... im finding that, as I also posted it, the first photo is usually from that perspective. Getting that stuff installed is so gratifying and it seems most people agree. That photo, from whoever it comes, never gets old. Always fun to see so keep em coming.

    Yep, that photo brings back memories of when I was at that same stage in April 2017. Enjoy the journey, it'll be worth it in the end, no doubt about it.
