Looks good so far, but why?

Whoaa.. I can't wait. Which model is that front from bumper taken from ?

Great work Sub!

wow, that looks very good!
i can't wait to see the finished thing.

@EMAXX, he is combining both Tamiya S13 and 180 kits because the pickup is a sileighty.

@Camber, I think the font bumper is custom made. :bigthumb:

More pictures please!

that looks great cant wait to see it done

Another fantastic project start out by amazing modeler!!
Go for it Subway!

that is gonna be one sweet model when your done. are you gonna paint it orange too just like the original?

Interesting "pick-up".
I love the color combination.

:eek: I was wondering when this one was going to be built. I can't wait.

If you have to ask, you don't need to know!! Super cool, Subway!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Wow that's a great project!
Visited your site few week ago and saw the pic of the truck and was waiting to see if you were building it or not. Finally some progress pic of it.

Looking good so far. Someone here in the islands already did a pickup. Not like the one you pictured though. Here are 2 pics of it.

you are my new God! that is one of my favourite drift cars, and i was thinking about doing it myself...but i dunno if i'd be able to do all the mods. i know for SURE that this will look fantastic once you're done with it.

what plans have you got for the left over 180SX front and S13 rear? may i suggest building the DRFT D1 One-Via?

That is fantastic. You are obviously a Drift fan and a very skilled modeler. Cant wait until its done.

interesting project! hope it turns out well! :smile:

Very interesting .
I'm sure, it will be a stunner when finished.

Can't wait to see how you'll do the rear bed. I have an idea of doing a VW caddy with a golf1 but don't know how to do the rear. I'll have to follow your thread carefully.

Wow this will be sweet!

Could call it a sil-utey? :lol:

Keep us posted!

:smokin:

God dam, that looks good. Good idea 4 a kit

I've seen that video and watched it again and again. Very entertaining.

The more I look at the pic of the real car, the more its starting to grow on me. Looks like its going to be sweet.

Very nice. Can't wait to see more of it.

Slightly off-topic, but since we're talking about pick-up conversions, anyone thought of or going to take a stab at that R32 pickup that's been in some drifting videos?

Cant wait to see more progress

Very interesting .
