This project (at least the body) was inspired by the car from Wangan Midnight. I've been working on it for over a year now, mainly because I have been so busy with school and work. I intended to post these pics up my progress pics a long time ago, but I just didn't get the chance. I took some pics of the interior, but I have no idea what happened to them, as well as a few of my earlier bodywork pics. I'll try to take some new interior pics, since I spent quite a lot of time on that part. Also, I've made a little progress since taking these pics, so I'll try to post them up tomorrow. Anyway, tell me what you think.
I made the front spoiler/bumper from a piece of clear plastic and a glob of bondo. I litterally just threw a bunch on bondo on it and started smoothing and sanding. This was before I knew about the putty.
I made the air ducts from little pieces of cardboard. It was a pain in the ass.
I was originally going to use the L24. I bought about 6 240Z kits, so I'll save it for another one.
I ended up putting about 8 coats of paint on it, mostly to fix little mistakes.
As you can see, a lot of the springs were trimmed. I had to do this in order to get the car to sit correctly.
This picture's a little bright, but you can see the racing harness.
There are the exhaust manifolds, which were made from heated styrene tubing. They are still a little rough. I'm currently working on the rest of the exhaust, which will be made from aluminum tubing and solder wire. I made wastegates as well, but my camera has a hard time taking pics of them.
