A single pair of 1x2 2 and 3 fingered plate hinges right by the rear-view
mirror holds the door in place.

Does the steering wheel work or is it fixed?

It's fixed.

IMHO the front wheels should be turned 180 so that the rim looks more
like the ones on the real thing. Also the front wheels could be
mounted wider so that the rim is edge to edge with the fender. Move
out aprox. one stud on each side?

If I moved the wheels out, they wouldn't turn.  I thought about turning the
wheels around, but then the tires would no longer appear to be low-profile.

Also it's a pity that you don't have tire/rims enough to fit all
around (noticed the different tires on the right back on the chassis
shot).

I do have the wheels, just not here.  I was going to wait to take pictures,
but then took them anyway.

But on the whole you managed to copy the Diablo :)

Thanks!

I like the headlights! I also noticed the small bevel gears on every
wheel axle and took those for brake discs, nice!

I suppose I could also have used large pulleys...might have a bit more
stopping power :)

What's next? McLauren F1? Ferrari F40?

Actually, a 12 wide Back to the Future DeLorean (not powered, tho).
