Progress: Integra Type R

So I decided to start my Teg last night, and seen as I cant just make a stock model, I've decided to make this one pretty wild. Sofar I've just got the body set, I've shaved: Door handles, Trunk, all badges, bumper seams, and turn signals. My coolest mod sofar is teh Targa Top conversion. :smokin: Looks awesome, if I do say so myself. This will be my best model to date, as I've already put alot of blood and sweat into it. (More blood though, almost had to make a trip to the ER while doing the T-Top conv. :uhoh:) Its going to be Black & Blue Pearl, with red graphics with a black/red interior setup.

No pics yet :banghead: But I'm getting a digi-cam for x-mas, so I'll have some pics up X-Mas day :smokin: Check back then. :grinno:

sounds nice! im doing one too, but mostly stock with little things. post pics asap.

ahh. no pics. well I've done the targa before, however I destryed the top so, no teg for the rainy days. But I've since trashed that car, and my orange one too. But this year I'll be working on one, so I'm gona follow your thread.

PICS! PICS!

The interior doesnt look as bad as the camera makes it, I'm still learning how to use teh cam, but this gives you the basic idea. I'm also working on how to get the top to stay on, but that shouldnt be too hard. Check back for more progress.


:feedback: Thanks!

looks real cool dude.

Thanks, I'm really not satisfied with the interior, (especially those pics :mad:) so that'll be redone, but the Targa Top came out perfect I think.

I suggest filling the drip rails to smooth out the back half of the targa roof. But other wise the car looks pretty good.

While we're suggesting stuff, what would you think about extending the trunklid forward to the B pillar (the rear doorjamb), adding a vertical plate of class, and making it sorta like a Integra Del Sol? They did it with the CRX, it would be a neat little phantom.

Maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm stupid, or maybe it was the X-Mas alcohol, but I dont know what you mean :lol2: :eek7:

You knopw the lil lines indented into the roof? they're two of them and run parallel to each other, commonly painted in black? Fill those in to smooth out the top, that's all layla's keeper was suggesting.

Ahhhh yes, now I understand. I was already planning on filling those in.

like the targa top but not feelin the shaved turned signals.

not feelin the shaved turned signals.

Dont worry your not the only one. :lol: I dont really think it looks right either, but its a show-car, and even if they're ugly they win for "originality". That and I ran out of things to shave :lol2:

All thats left is painting the body and I'm good to go. Next project to look out for: Volvo 850 Saloon Street Demon.

:feedback: Thanks for lookin'

Nice Work!!!!

Nice integra. For the red you should of used a flat red. But everything else is great. :)

Yea, I was going to use flat, but I found that I ran out of flat red, and seen as I dont have a liscense at the moment (Long story, but lets just say in involves a Neon "In excess of 100MPH" :lol2:), so I gotta wait for a few weeks til I can make it to the hobby store to pick up my paints. I need primer too :mad:

Thanks for the compliments too! That makes modeling even more fun :lol2:

Looks pretty good. Nice red accents

I did the same conversion about year ago, but my paint really suck. After I put some clear coat on the car, it became like a very dry land.
But you did very nice job.

Targa top looks awsome!!!

looks sweet, im doing another ITR (along with everyone else), lambo doors (not hinged, in one fixed position) lots of putty work, including fender flares , i shaved the turn signals also, to make it more original, and filled in the 2 inside headlights, and cut open to grill slits (hard to explain, but i saw it on a poster, so decided to try it...but anyways, keep up the good work
