First off I had to trial fit the parts to see if it was possible. It looked good so I just went ahead and got the glue out. These are the main panels from the Skyline kit...



The front arches were a reasonable fit right from the off. I just had to trim and clearance the front bumper and trim the body molding off the side.



The rears were a bit to long so I simply cut a bit of the end Then glued them in place with some liquid poly.



The side skirts were way too long so I cut about 9mm out of the center to shorten them then glued them on too. So far so good. It seems to fit together quite well and certainly makes for a more interesting car! Next it needed the front and rear lower spoilers.



Both of these were of course, way to wide so they had to be cut down by about 7mm and trimmed where they protuded into the wheel arch appeture. Here the rear one has been glued on and the front is taped on for trial fitting. Now it's beginning to take shape. I still have the rear spoiler at the back of the tailgate to sort...that's next.
