GVR4 progress thread!

Well, here are my first pics of progress on my vr4 kit. All I have left is the interior and body detailing.

They're right there!!!

Sorry, I don't think we're talking about the same thing.

You can see the pictures in your first post because you've already seen them on your computer. They're in your browser's cache of stored pictures. The rest of us see red Xs.

You can upload them at the URL I posted, and for each one you upload, it will give you a URL for it. Then you post the AF URL here with [IMG] tags and we'll be able to see the pics.

PM me if you have questions; I'll help you out. :)

Nice work!
is it wheels from Skyline R32?

Am I the only one who can't see them?

I can open www.eframes.com just fine, but if I try to load http://www.eframes.com/ef-cgi/p/pontarolom_hotmail_com/9493im000119.jpg, it says I don't have permission to view. :confused:

They're wheels from the rally Evo V.

Hey Jay, I tried it your way but got a bunch of boxes with X's.

Would you mind giving me a quick run through of how you lowered it turbowop. When I build mine, I want to make the stance just how you have yours.

It would take two pages to explain that one. Lots of dremel work. I had to fabricate custom axles that run the width of the car for both front and rear. And then hide them best I could with the stock suspension pieces and paint. As far as mounting the axles for the height I eyeballed it. A little cutting here, a little sanding there, and some swearing everywhere. Then some glue. It was a PITA!!!

Nice blue! TS-23?

The wheels really look good on the car!

It's Brilliant Blue (TS-44). The wheels were painted with Model Master's metallizer in magnesium.

Brilliant Blue? How did you get it to look so bright? My Calsonic Skyline was done in this color, but its way darker. Did you use a white primer as a base??

I used gray primer. I think the sun and/or the flash on the camera had something to do with it as it is a little darker in person.

It looks to be coming along nicely! :)

(And BTW, I can see them fine from home! :rolleyes: )

Wow! Looks awesome!
What's with the colour though? I thought you would do it in something similar to yours!
Can't wait to see it done though, stick with it!!!

I decided to do it the way I would do my real car if I had the money. I would love to change the color to that blue, but I would have to paint the door jambs, the engine bay, under the hood and trunk lid, along with other various places to make it look good. Besides, the looks of my real car will change now and again and that would leave me with a model that doesn't look like my real car anyway. I'll use the model as a goal for my real car.
BTW, thanks for the compliments!!:cool:

Looks great...nice job on the height, really stands out
