Some of you might remember me as the guy who bought 9 Aoshima AE86 :screwy: Well guess what, I bought even more afterward :icon16: However, I've been too into other things and had put model making aside for quite a while. But now, I feel it's finally time I make something. Since I've got so many AE86 sitting around, I might as well start things off with one. Been lurking around the forum and saw others had already made this kit, so I'm going to do something alittle different with it.

Well, enough talk, here's a pic of the bodykit and wheels dry fit.

What do you guys think?

Looks good. Is it full-detail?

Those wheels are hot!

Nice. I have a few of these also, no boutique ones yet.

Nice and mean! I like it! Have you decided the color scheme your gonna use yet?

@ zak78, it was, but I'm saving the engine for another car :)

@ Honoturtle, hey man, wups up? lol haven't talk with you in a while. You should get a boutique one, the body kit is really nice, and comes with full stripped interior and roll cage!

@ cyberkid, yes, it's going to be black on black rolling on black wheels with polished lips.

Was busy last few days, but got to spend most of today working on the car. Here are some progress pics~

Underbody is done, wheels are attached permanently.

The other side, and a better view of the hood and bodykit.

Alittle negative camber. I tried to position the wheels as far out as I could.

That's it for now~

There seems to be a resurgence of hachis recently, i'm likin' this one too. :)

Got a bunch of stuff done today, finish most of the interior, painted the body. Here's where it stands now:

The paint looks somewhat semi-gloss. Is this an illlusion?
