anyway, here are some updates

The interior
detailed the dashboard a bit, the stereng wheel is front toyota ae86 :rolleyes:
the carpet came with the kit and i wanted a red+ black interior so it's like that.
that is how the car will look like.......there is a bit flaw at the rear bonnet about the paint but i will fix it tomorrow when the paint dries....

Masking looks clean! What happened to the body shell?

The door broke off due to hard polishing :(

At first i was frustated, next i nearly dump it to the dustbin, but judging the way it broke off is very nice, so i decided..

A show car :P

Why don't you try gluing the door back on? Afterall they are all plastic.

Not a bad idea... But it doesn't look bad the way it looks.

So it's a Honda model, built to look like a toyota and it has a Subaru badge.

Meh, nice build! You're really improving.
Too bad the body snapped. :( I'd try fixing it.
Just glue it back in, lightly sand down the glueing edge, touch up the paint and polish the hell out of it.

Yeah you should fix it. How about fixing it and slapping the "Fujiwara Tofu Den" logo on the side?

Winston

kaho, winstona,toyota00,zanthrax,
at first i wanted to fix it but it's too late cause i already cut the door panel and the clear parts. i seen autoshow cars that car cut open and something like this.
i will try to get another smx low down and do the same thing all over again.
a lesson, never polish it too hard :(

To me snapped parts are not too big of a deal, at least i could glue the part back on at the exact place, but what i fear is when a part snapped off while washing and it goes down the drain along with the water.... :22yikes:

Wow, never seen that happen before. Still a nice build!
