Hi Folks,
Years ago I did this:
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=529147
I decided to rebuild it a couple of weeks ago and try out the new TS-85 Bright Mica Red over TS-21 Gold. I painted most of the trims with TS-6 Matt Black (ran out of CF and easy to do :D)

Nice transition. I like it without the emblem although I woulda shaved the bracket for it. No big. looks better I must say

Incredible! Personally I'd adjust the fitment of the front wheels, but I love the stance of the rear two. It can't get much closer than that!

Thank you! I agree that the front suspension could have been lower, but the whole suspension is already set in stone with superglue :D I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the new TS-85, the flakes are minuscule and seemed on scale.

i like it just the way it is.it is a little to "orange" for my taste and i would have made it matte black but it looks great. Good job

The wheels tend to stick out a bit but the results of your build looks perfect. I always liked this kind of car.
