This is the idea..that the wheel stays very close from the body

I made some marks to see where I have to cut

Now...enough space for the wheels
http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5452/imagen0667.jpg

I'll have to measure the correct length of the axis

Well, thats all i hope you like it

i forgot...color? maybe Mr Color N°28, something dark...that is the idea

I started this kit about a year and a half ago but lost motivation. Must get around to finishing it some day. I'll keep an eye on this one

Those wheels really fit the look of this car. So how far are you going with the other details?

Jimmy

Thanks for your coments guys!

I have remade the new fenders? (i guess that fender is the word) and i just have to sand a lot all the new parts to make a good fit...soon i will put more pictures (i have to download them to the PC)

I hate this old bwm but on these wheels looks sweet!!!

Well i have news about the BMW...i almost finish the interior, im pretty happy with it, i know that you are used to see very impressive work, with very accurate details...but well this is my best, but also is my second model car so i try to do all the things slow and very carefully

I put some "cloth" (i guess taht the word is cloth) in the door panels
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9990/imagen0857.jpg

Then i cutt the extra cloth

Quick assembly of suspension, wheels, the exhaust was painted and it has a rust/heat effect
http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/737/p1020609z.jpg

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6162/p1020612.jpg

Another detail i varnish the steering wheel rim
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5228/p1020241e.jpg

Then i realized that the original exhaust was very close of the wheels, so i take it out and re do it with evergreen (maybe i do something to cover the axes, i dont like how it looks, i want to give it a diferential look)
http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2779/imagen1163.jpg

Start with the dremel
http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8830/imagen1164.jpg

I did the measures, and i have like a preview of how it should look with a wire
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/8052/imagen1166.jpg

Then i bend it
http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/4417/imagen1167.jpg

Quick assembly
http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7503/imagen1168.jpg

Check if it is close to the bumper
http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8340/imagen1169.jpg

Finally looks like this...i have to paint it and do the effect of rust/heat
http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6746/imagen1170.jpg

Then, i primered it
