UC: Sileighty / Onevia

My regular modeling shop did not carry the fujimi Initial D S13 Sileighty.
So I purchased a 180SX and a Silvia (both Fujimi) and swapped the fronts.
Sofar I have glued the noses on applied some putty and primered them.
On with the pics:

Sweet! The conversion looks very good.

Nice conversion!!!

Wow they look so,box stock!:)

Nice conversion, very clean.

AWESOME dude! :smokin:

Nice conversion. Mine taking a close up of the fenders finished?
Any other plans?

Nice projects... really love the onevia!

cool conversions

just one thing: the initial D sileighty was an early type but you have a late type SX which has other taillights for example

Nice Conversions! Though i think the wing on the Onevia is a bit APC-ish. But its very clean! :)

About the APC-ish wing... IMO it look beter than the default wing for the Silvia, this one was in the same kit too BTW.
And I'm not such a big fan of the wingless look.

The 180SX comes with taillights for both styles.
The older type, which is What Orion means I think:

Or the 'kouki' tails, which I'm going with:

It doesn't have to look like the Initial D Sil80.

I painted both bodies today. The Sil80 is Mica Blue and the Onevia is Lavender.
I'll post some pics of that tomorrow.
The Onevia still needs clearcoat and I can't deside on the wheels.
I think the Sil80 will get 18" TE37. But I can't deside what color.

Great looking work. I'll keep a close eye on this to see how it turns out

thats awsome, i love the onevia.

will you have to do custom work on the front windshield? or do the ones from the box fit right in?

i really like the onevia very cool!

I see what you mean. I too think the Onevia with the S13 rear looks better with a wing (GT Wing). I hope you weren't offended by me calling your wing APC-ish:sorry:

Good work so far !!!

Mike :smile:

Impressive work, Look forward to seeing more :)

i dun have ballz to do that... lol
Nice Conversion man!

Nice work so far!

Did they just line up perfectly?

first some pics of the fenders:

I messed up the body lines a bit, but the endresult is a lot smoother than I had expected for a first try.
They line up pretty much. the 180SX has slightly more bulged wheelarches but the putty smoothes it out nicely.
Also the wideshields on both car fit nicely along the hoods.

Next, wheels choice:

On the left are some wheels for a Honda CRX Del Sol. But those are really to small for this car.

What do you guys think?

Default wheel. (I'm thinking about putting these on the Onevia)

Blitz wheel.

TE37. Probably not white. Bronze makes the car look like an Impreza to much, black isn't flashy enough. Lightblue maybe?

great progeress here man !!
very nice!!

So they did just fit right on with some putty? wow awsome work maybe ill do this swap!

Some nice work. Love the blue color. I see the base 180 kit you used in your conversion. What is the base S13 kit you used? Got a pic of the box?

wow its so smooth, good job with that

I like the TE37, but id have to see them in the light blue that you are going to paint them. IMO Light Gun metal would look cool.

Great job on the conversion.

JeFF

black rims looks nice imo
