Well after 3 months of sanding, puttying and more sanding. This long project has finally finished.
Kinda gutted really, when I started to paint the final coat a freak gust of wind blew the body off my paint stand. :banghead:
So I was forced to sand the whole thing back to plastic. :banghead: :banghead:
And then to make things worse, the final paint job went crazy on me, so there is a few paint flaws, but I was not keen to sand it back again for the 2nd time, so to most peoples disgust I put some rice stickers to cover them up. (lazy I know)
As for mods on this project.
18inch Shoki rims
Fujimi muffler tune set, (seat,exaust,gauges, steering wheel)
Studio 27 seatbelt kit
Scratch built bonnet vent and arches.
Smoothed doors
Paint is duplicolor mirage-gold to majenta.
Anyways heres some pics.

Cheers man, I was feeling dubious about posting this project up as I felt it was not up to my standards.
But after all these positive comments, I'm glad I have shared this with you guys.
As for the decals, I got them from a hobby shop. Its this A5 sheet full of tuning decals, for $25NZD
