WIP: Fujimi 180SX

This is my current project, the Fujimi 180SX. I have built this kit before when I was younger and did a terrible job. I bought this kit cheap on Ebay and didn't plan on working on it this soon but somehow it made it's way onto my bench. I kept the Kouki body style but added styrene under the front bumper and skirts to lengthen them just a bit. I also added a bit on the rear bumper. Also smoothed off the front license plate housing. I lowered the front suspension a tad but did not modify the rear. Also since the brakes were already molded I used pin vice to drill out every hole in each brake. Wheels are Fujimi SSR Star Formula. Exhaust made from solder, and muffler from K&S and antenna. Intercooler is a repop from the Tamiya R33 and is modified a bit with solder. Interior comprises of Aoshima Recaros, Studio27 seatbelt hardware, Aoshima steering wheel, and scratch built gagues using K&S and epoxy.





















Body will be Tamiya Metallic Red with a black base coat. I hope to finish this by the beginning of summer, but I will keep you posted.

Thanks for looking.
