W.I.P Honda City Turbo
Hi,
While I'm still building on the widebody Honda Civic, I picked a new project out of my to do stocklist. It's a Tamiya Honda City turbo. Very old kit and no details at all but I will make it as a crazy car . Big wheels, big exhaust spoiler..... Here some pics: Kris.

Re: W.I.P Honda City Turbo
Yesterday I had time to work on the City.
I cutted out the grille and the bumpergrille. Than I cleaned the foglights and make the hole in the bumper bigger. Also the holes for the sidemirrors are cleaned because I'll use some other mirrors. I searched in my partsbox and found a nice intercooler. I made some silicon tubes on it and applied a A'pex decal on it. I think it looks very mean on the car Kris.

Re: W.I.P Honda City Turbo
Yeah I painted the body.
First the primer: Than I painted it Red as base colour: And than Motip Metallic Violet. and a couple of clear coat lays: On the pics the metallic doesn't show how deep it is but I'll try to make better pics this week of the colour. I really like it. I only had a bit of a orange peel on the paint but I'll polish and wax the body this week. Hope you like it! Kris.

Re: W.I.P Honda City Turbo
Hmmm again no feedback
I Polished/waxed the body and the colour is very nice. Especially in the sun These are the wheels I'll use. They're from a Revell Tuner kit and I painted the spokes in semigloss black. These are the original seats from the City but I think they're too big and heavy I wanted some smaller seats and I found them in my partbox. They come from a HKS Kansai Lexus IS200 These seats are open on the backside so I used some styreen to clean the seats. I also cutted the seats and maked them more realistic to put some steel pins in it. I don't know what colour the interior will be. Maybe white or someting? Kris.

Re: W.I.P Honda City Turbo
I would suggest a two tone interior with a purple and black or something...
The colour on the body just looks amazing |

Re: W.I.P Honda City Turbo
Thnx for the compliments guys.
I made my choice for the interior. It will be WHITE I think this looks great with the exterior colour. The dash will be shiny white and the doorpanels and the seats semigloss white. On the rear seats there will be a NOS bottle and maybe I use some CF decals or something. Kris.
