Your dream conversion project

Do u have any dream conversion projects that u only dare to dream of?
Here's mine:
1) Pininfarina Mythos: bubble canopy (like Nazca C2), GT wing, full roll cage, F40 engine, monocoque racing chassis...
2) F40: monocoque racing chassis, full roll cage...
.......

:D converting a Fiat 500 into a 30 cm-long mini-limousine ;-) :D

2. Karmann Ghia (or actually renault Megane) with a V8 instead of the rear seat.

Hmmm, yeah: converting an ugly F50 into a
fully detailed Ferrari 333SP would be fun. Lot of work though...

Holy moly! That looks really like a challenge to do, but...
My dream conversion is converting the '90s S-Class Mercedes into an armoured reconaissance vehicle with turret etc. no chains though.

Title would be: "Schnellsten Pantzer oder Schwerste Mercedes?"

Translated: "Fastest Armour or Heaviest Mercedes?"

:D :D

I'm still looking for an armour kit to make the idea happen...

First would be a Dodge Garter. Starting with a Viper, I'd cut half the engine away, making it a Slant 5. I'd remove the console, make the front seat a bench seat, and use a column shifter (still manual). The bumpers would be dark grey, pebble-grained to look like it is molded. Steel wheels, probably from a Tamiya BMW Z3. Paint would be beige or white.

Second would be a fully-weathered Corvette, with great big rust holes in the fenders:eek: :D :rolleyes: :flipa: :devil:

Dropping in a Skyline GTR motor and transmission into a Datsun 280Z.
This car was featured in the December 2000 issue of SCC.

Not really a conversion, but I wanna make a Ferrari 360 challenge.

Wide-body Nissan S13 Silvia with an S15 front end, GT-Wing, intercooler, stripped interior, and the Skyline's RB26DETT engine shoved under the hood. :D:D that's the stuff dreams are made of.

a 4 door toyota echo into a 4 door toyota tercel.

my dream conversion is to make a cabriolet version of an FD3S RX-7!!! ahhhh, i can see it now!!! still attempting it;)

Check the sig. This conversion, though, will more than likely be actually happening.

NSX -> NSX Type T
NSX -> NSX Type S
NSX -> NSX Zanardi Edition
NSX -> Facelifted NSX
NSX-R -> NSX-R II

For now, anyway. :)

honda civic with ITR front end conversion with the B18C5 out of the Type R

A couple that I am attempting at the moment:-

1) R32 Shootingbrake (station wagon)
2) S14 racecar (see sig)
3) Sard Supra with one piece lifting rear and Ferrari F50 engine and suspension etc. So far have built the F50 rear setup and hope to start on body as soon as the 2 Nissans are finished.
4) Any other wierd ideas I come up with (gotta at least try 'em all!)

well i have plans on combining the face of an R32 with the rear of an R33. im also planning on converting the S2000 to the SSM, i got quite a few pics but i need more on the interior details. i would also like to convert a JGTC Supra into a TRD 3000GT.

I'd like to convert a Back to the Future DeLorean into a street DeLorean with a scratchbuilt chassis and engine, plus opening doors/hood/trunk. Also, a "stainless steel" finish via aluminum foil.

We'll see how that one goes... :biggrin:

1) ferrari f360 modena hatchback with enzo engne
2) enzo convertible - custom paint 24" spinning wheels
3) skyline pickup truck with twin tubo engine

a pokemon van from scratch

-USDM 97-00 accord from the aoshima new accord wagon

Revell Escalade (curbside) with full details from 99 silverado

99 silverado ext cab (revell) with escalade front end, deville rear tails, bags, supercharger, 18'' 5spoke with pegaus sleeves in the rear for the deep dish look(cut the backside of the 18, and slip all the way into the sleeve), opening front doors, sound system in bed with bedcover, nitrous, and the co de gra; color shifting rage paint.

I have one that I have the 2 kits for and have looked into a little. It is a New Mini converted into a WRC Car. I have chosen to use a Peugot 206 as the WRC base.
Cant wait till I can get into it!
Just have to wait till my skills can match up with my imagination!

I'd like to do an RB26 and full engine bay and trunk detail into an R31 GTS-R kit... Or Maybe an RB20 from the aoshima cefiro done up to look like an ECCS Red top RB20DET-R....
I'd like to get an old fujimi R31 pillarless sedan kit , move the rear pillars to a steeper angle, and add B-pillars, so it could represent an Aussie market R31.
'tis about it !

4 Door BlitZ Skyline R34 Conversion!!!! :iceslolan

Full detail S2000; opening hood, trunk (with spare tire etc), doors; wheels off and full undercarriage detail.

or

Half cut S2000; half the body and half the frame, suspension and motor to show off the awesome X-frame chassis and the engine. Wee!

r34 taillights on a civic....r34 engine too

Wow!
Lots of Ferrari's in this list.
here's mine. Ferrari 512TR to F512M.
I'd do it in a minute if Tamiya had done a TR...The Revell kit is, well, revell and the Rosso TR is getting a little 'dear' for cutting up. Then there's the wheels. I think the closest ones are in the Tamiya Mythos kit, and references are hard to come by, even with the Web.
:p

Revell Escalade (curbside) with full details from 99 silverado


is the revell escalade curbside? or is that how your gonna make it???

Fujimi Lambo Diablo into the wonderfull purple SE jota (most beautifull Diablo ever, to my eyes...)
And something like an anti-conversion: make a McLaren F1 roadcar (no wings) from Profil 24's F1 GTR Gulf... Hard work on resin, difficult air intake modfications...
Dream conversions: let's say modeler's nightmares!

I would say a 88-91 CRX with detailled F20C engine and integral transmission. I have the kit, the engine from sakatsu, now i wait for the skills !

P.S. : a 4x4 CRX is possible, i saw one.

I'd build all VWs. Here is few:
1) Full detail VW Golf mk4 R32
2) Full detail VW Golf mk4 Sport 2000
3) Full detail VW Golf mk2 "Golfie the Puuh"
4) Full detail VW New Beetle "Dune buggy"
5) Full detail VW Transporter mk4 "VW-Porsche 993"

A Mercedes SLK GT-1 Racer. How?
Body of the regular Tamiya CLK GT-R, with the roof and tailights of the Tamiya SLK, all converted to front engine lay-out (I´m a Panoz freak).

I'd like to take something and build the Dodge Turbo Interceptor aka Dodge M4S from "The Wraith."

RE Amemiya Greddy final 7 :
http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v59/baow0w/greddy_final_1.jpg

1. My current dream is to finish converting a Hasegawa Stratos into a fully detailed, engine and front off model. I gave up on the doors already. Progress is realy slow!

2. A full detail (engine and suspension) Jaguar D-type. Using the curbside Fisher kit with the engine and running gear from a Revel XKSS.

3. Converting a Tamiya Lotus 107B into a 107C with a transplanted (Mugen)Honda V10 replacing the Ford V8.

4. Devolving a Tamiya Williams FW24 to the early season aerodynamic package and 'Compaq' livery.

And heaps of other stuff besides. From easy stuff like a Tommi Makinen 1000 Lakes Escort to tricky things like a Hasegawa "circuitboard" Sauber C9 with a suitably modified donor engine from the Tamiya kit. And of course lots and lots of rally Peugeots.

I'd like to take something and build the Dodge Turbo Interceptor aka Dodge M4S from "The Wraith."
had plymouth badges on it. but that was a sweet car.

Wow!
