Datsun Fairlady 432ZG ???

Hi every one , This's what on my workbench now. The Fujimi Fairlady 240ZG. I started to work on this car for a while.
At the beginning ,I think that I'll make it as the full open & details model. But due to many reason I change my mind and opened just the engine hood.

Starting with opening the hood.

Nice progress so far. Engine bay area is already looking much better after you closed it up. Looking forward to seeing how you progress on this one.

Down to suspension I cut the lower arm to lowering it.

Cut it & drill the 1mm. hole. I use the Tamiya 1mm. plastic beam as a suspension pin.

Then cut the shock up & spring both front & rear. As you can see in the pictures. The standard one is on the left side ,the cutted one is on the right side.
