progress----project bada$$ slk

this is a rebuild of one of my old models. i believe it is a tamiya kit, but not sure. it was a few years ago that i bought and built this. this could be my NEW entry for the custom contest but not sure on that either. kinda tired of the hb. dunno what motor i will put in this. it is a curbside so i will have to cut open the hood, and i will not fallow the usual hood lines for opening! gotta give it a lil custom flare!! maybe a mild body kit- change front and rear slightly and add some small not that noticable skirts. might stay with the civic 17s but i dunno. could a mugen v8 go in this????? what do you guys think? sorry for the blury pics.

let me know guys!!!

dont not cut on the proper lines. if u want something cool and very showy, then i cut the whole front clip at the door jams and make it hing at the front

thats a good idea but massive fabin wil be needed, seeing that this is a curbside so there is not engine bay at all. but i will put it in my memory bank for the near future for this.

anyone have or seen these fixed up like a racey style. maybe a slight body kit or somethin.........

this is the lorinser kit, might be a step project but could turn out cool

looks sweet, i like the hood idea

Looking sick! Just a suggestion to make it even more custom, Ferrari Testerossa Sides would be very intresting.

No! Dont waste the mugen v8 on a mercedes! It should be mated to the skyline awd platform and stuffed in a race ready civic coupe!
