I believe the car is street-legal in Japan so it can stay here. If you'd like it moved just let me knoe. :)

You'd love to know, wouldn't you? :P

Im guessing from the chassis you have there its a 350z or from the bumper there, its a skyline.

Got some progress going today, started the interior. I am trying to replicate the interior from the actual car as well as i can, so if anyone got reference pics laying around id love to have 'em.

The undercarriage is almost finished

I decided i wouldnt get too ambitious with the undercarriage considering how bad it was (2 parts to glue together, 7 if you count the shocks and the muffler, but the shocks aint even glued, they are working (!) way to go aoshima!) so the only thing thats left to do is to order a set of PE brakes (the stock ones just dont cut it) and fix the interior, then the scary part begins.. decaling :crying: :banghead:

PLEASE a little more feedback now!!

P.S. My house ain't crooked, it's the camera tripod :loser:

cool project. Im anxious to see more. The yellow splotches all over the under carriage is kinda worrying me though. :dunno:

They are a rookies first attempt to weathering :icon16:

it looks good, the weathering is actually pretty good for a first attempt, make it a little mor dull next time.

it sounds like a good body on an average chassis and interior.

nice job

Well then Mr. Genius, you should have posted it there in the first place, huh?! :smile:

Gosh how embarrasing..

No problem; lemme know if you mess the decals up. I have that same kit but it will not be built box stock. I might have some spares. :)

The scariest 2 hours in my life:
