The car is not painted yet ;) . Undoubtedly that pics make it think, the car will not be like that, but with a VeilSide kit and a modified hood and other things...

The front is a little modified :D with the intake Evo and the new shape on the hood:

What's the donor car you took the bumper of ?

Looks like a nice build-up thread, keep it up !

i always like a good build of thread :D

eyech...Veilside...no offence, but i just find their kits to be disgustingly ugly. i had this same kit, and went with the stock body-kit piece on it. personally, i don't like the Evo vent or the way you've filled in the front grille...but i'll hold my judgments until i see the finished product i guess. i just think it looks so much cleaner in the first pics.

Thx for your opinion. S13_Iketani, personnally I like the VeilSide kits because it's extreme in the design. I hope that you opinion will change by seeing the final result. ;)

Nice work!
but i agree with S13_Iketani. I don't like Veilside side esp not on a Silvia.

Looking forward to see more progress pics :)

i gotta question man? did you cast that evo vent out of resin?

I put a primer coat on the elements of the kit (as in the carriage-builder ):D

The front is almost done, I have modified it with R32 head lights.

Intresting project!

May I ask, what is happening to all the cars that you are getting parts from :rolleyes:

I don't like to cut my cars to get a part, but in some cases the model is crushed (for the Skyline it is the case) then I recover some interesting parts. For the air intake, it's a simple resin part.

Well, if it were a real car it would be a disgrace to a rare, beatiful automobile. But since its not...i think its a great project and very creative. Update us soon!

Alright, I guess youve get a point there. Off with an ear :thefinger

just kiddin dude, Nice project, What rims are you going to use?

why R32 headlights???
i like it the way it was

Each one has its idea. I try to find new ideas for my models, I hope the final result will be good.

For the wheels, I've got this set:
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/283953fuj19214box.JPG

but I think the wheels are too small. Initially, I'll put Brembo brakes with the RUF wheels (18") and later I'll change the wheels to a set of Aoshima (19") but I dont know which model yet. If you have a suggestion...

for s14,I would prefer TE37:ylsuper:
just a suggestion:biggrin:

What the difference? (apart the color:biggrin:) Maybe the inches?

You are right!
Size does matter!:biggrin:
this one is better(and bigger)
FUJIMI called it 18 inch
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/932507fuj19202box.JPG
and this one call it 17 inch(but as far as I am concerned,it's 16 inch,or smaller!)
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/232841fuj19217box.JPG

ok, i think about :wink:

How much of TE37 do you have? :icon16:

I've seen the wheels on your yellow M3, that's look great!!

A little update, I have built an intercooler, cut the original intercooler in front bumper, put new mirrors and rear wing (originally for the S15 VeilSide) and continued the shape of the hood.

The car is really taking shape i.e. hood

Sweet job with the hood! Doesn't look like it went thru all that torture! Just wondering what primer you used? And oh how did you just get the putty marks to just go bye-bye! :smile:

jomz, I use a filler for real cars.

The unfinished interior:

Must the seats in 2 colors (red-black) painted or a full black color is enough?

This is an awesome car, You should do the interior black with red front seats like the "JDM" look that everyone loves so dearly:lol:

the orange on the interior :bloated:

the shape of the car altogether :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

nice job man..

You've defaced a silvia, Off with his head !

F*ck that. I think it looks good. keep us updated:bananasmi

@@ rsbousquet: I think that my webcam changes sometimes the colors because it's not orange but red :confused: .


@@ B16EF: Thx man, I hope that the final result will be good :wink: .

those wheels just don't seem to match the kit IMO

I tend to agree. They look undersized and plain compared to the far-out bodywork surrounding them. I'd suggest flaring the wheelwells, then looking for some wider wheels & tires with deeper rims.... Something like these.

But then, it's all opinion. Right?

Finished interior (red touch & not orange touch !!! :wink: ):

Yeah man I know, I'm not "FastBoy" :wink: ...

I change my mind for the wheels, now I choice wheels from a F 150 scale 1/18 with new tyres (Pegasus). The modification takes a lot of time :frown: but I hope it will look better.

those rims from the f 150 look good with the s14

I post the last progress before I finish the car. Only the chassis is done & the exhaust. For the next post, no more progress pics only the final pics. :bananasmi

Bravo !
Olivier

very Impressive work - looking forward to seeing it finished:bigthumb:

Looks kool,I do like these kits (Veilside):cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
Not sure 'bout the rim choice,but that's just MHO:smile:
Can't wait for final pics

cheers stump:aus:

damn, thats nice. what kinda primer are you useing?

Great work.The F150 rims look great but I would do something about the SVT logos on the rims.

Thx for comments guys..... :wink:

MugenCRXSi, I use a acrylic filler for automotive (a french product)

Midnight Racer, I'll change the SVT logos, no problem.

:smile:

I don't like the rim choice. But that's just me. :smile:

Great job on everthing else. You're doing great!

I brought this thread back to see if towelboy has been working on the car lately...wanna see some updates.

This car is almost finished, still a few details to do. I hope to post a new thread this monday with the finished pics...
