New project.

It's an old AMT kit, Nice fitment though.

Box stock for now. Paint is Boyd's (testors) Pearl orange (airbrushed), the same thats on my Veilside RX-7.

I think AMT NAILED the stance on this one.

Nice work on the paint. That color with the GTA rims look good together.

Well I had a little misshap with the paint persay. I got alittle heavy with the duplicolor and it spiderwebbed the paint a little, Luckly it wasn't on the surface so all I had to do is spray another coat of orange to cover it. Paints drying again, I'll work on the interior for a bit.

You'd think differently if you rode in one with the right driver! :iceslolan

Awesome!
This was the first car my Dad bought when he came from India...kinda like Apu!

The stance is killer...and the wheels are fantastic... will you be leaving them polished?

What are your plans for the engine bay and chassis?

How are the T-tops?

Great subject!

What are your plans for the engine bay and chassis? Box stock for now, I'm going for mostly box stock builds now, When I choose to modify them I usually don't finish. I'm trying to break that habit.

How are the T-tops? They're alright, Some sanding to get them to fit right.

Awesome engine swap!!!
If we still had our TA that's exactly what I would use!

Does the chassis have the 4-wheel discs detail?

I have gotten the paint clear coated. I'm waiting for it to dry to put some more coats on it.
