hi here's my WIPs right now, and i have created a separate thread for this.
i bought the ae86 for a dollar at a hobby store, unfortunately it doent have a rear hatch glass, so im gonna fabricate one from acrylic sheet. this is also the first time i did custom work for front bumper and spoiler.
the story:
anyways, the build had taken a turn. originally it will be a black body/ red bumpers-trimmings paint scheme, but my editor (i work at a car online magazine) saw this ae86, asked if i could somehow paint it in our magazine's battle colors. so it will be blue with red and white trims.
oh, the plan is to build the ae86 as a budget daily driver/weekend drifter/racer. so expect to see some scratches and zip ties
this model will be on display for our magazine's street party next month, so most of my builds are halted.
here are some updates on my build:
fitment of rear glass hatch(the kit didnt have one)
hood vent
rear spoiler all smoothened up.muffler i will be using. yes th muffler is dirty, and has a lot of scratches. i'm going for the used kinda battered look of a battle car.
side view, stance of the ae86
front bumper. a little more sanding and putty to smoothen it, then it will be ready for primer
interior shot 1, half cage and fuel cell
interior shot 2, bucket seat with 4-point harness and stock seating
thanks for looking.
C & C welcome!!!
