2 civic progress thread with pics

[supratuner]

I got to buy 2 Revell Civics at a hobby shop up in Michigan for $4 each, so i got a HB and a 2 door

Heres the progress

Im using Tamiya Mica Blue on the HB as u can see in the pics, i dont have any of the coupe, but im painting it Gunmetal

There wasnt too much paint in that Tamiya can so any thing wrong with the paint is gonna have to stay wrong untill i make an hour long trip and pay just under $6 to get another can of it, which isnt gonna happen...






im using the front piece from the HB for the Coupe.

any questions comments and suggestions welcomed, id type more and get more pics but school and homework is taking up all my time

i will also have a how to in this thread on how to lower model cars, well at least the way i do it, since a few of you wanted to know how i do it...

paint looks sweet, what you should do tho, is just stock up on paints when your there

usually i just use Paint from walmart, like Duplicolor, Plastikote, and testors...

Tamiya is too much for me to pay for a can of paint that small, especially since it barely got 2 coats on that entire car

Cool. Great to see your gona do a tut. I've picked up an eclipse, and Im gona drop it a little more than your green one. Now, when do we see the coupe?

[supratuner]

i should have a tutorlial, i cant spell excuse me, when i ever i start on suspension, i will probably paint the suspension tomorow, so id say possibly friday night or some time saturday, im busy on friday and most of saturday, but ill have it by sunday night i swear.


ill have pics of the coupe hopefully tomorow, im thinkin about getting some pink paint and doing some thing for me and my GFs anniversery but idk.

Im getting a real car some time in the next few days so thats also gonna take up some of my time.


thanks for the great comments, and about lowering the eclipse, if u want it lower than mine youre gonna have to cut out the wheel wells im serious tho....

[86_SR5]

The pink civic sounds cool, as long as you pack some heat under it

Can't wait for the tutorial... i really needa drop this 'clipse

BTW,
What kinda car you getting?

[Skateforfood]

Im workin on the same too, gonna slam it with the feels kit thoe just think it would look good slammed wit that body kit.. but were not talking about my car we are talking about yours, good job on the paint job.

1990 Honda Acccord 4 door

5 speed
no radio or tape player
the body is in very bad contion

engine has 160,000 on it, and gets around 35 mpg, the thing thats atracting me to it lol

only paying $400 for it, it will need a new clutch in time, i know a guy that can hook me up on that, when i start getting embarased of the body ill have my bro work on it, and since my anniversery is soon, im gonna ask my GF to buy me a good CD player for it.

it will be here some time tonight, im not that good at using a 5 speed yet, so tomorow after school, if i even go, im geting sick, ill be driving it around the neighbor hood to reteach my self. It will be a whil ebefore i have insurance and that good stuff, insurance is gonna be so high, probably around $3000 a year considering i totalled a truck after having my license for 2 months, and had about $50,000 in medical bills...

i have no plans to do any real mods to this car in the future, i just need a beater
