I'm thinking Kei Office Type XR. I'm not sure how much detail I want to go into it aside from painting it to look similar.

Finished the dash. Think I might have added too much stuff. Also my scratchbuilt gauges are too big. I'm thinking of ripping them out and building smaller ones. Thoughts? Opinions?

Except for the gauges the dash looks great.

I replaced the gauges with Detail Master gauges. Driver's seat replaced with R34 seat. Should have pics of it soon. Next up, suspension.

Interior. Could be cleaner, but passable.

Very clean build and I love it. Hope to see the finish pict soon. But... your plate had a missing text. The text that beside #26-00, is missing.

Nothing fancy. I always paint my headlight and taillight assemblies with Mr. Color Plate Chrome, looks much more realistic, IMO. I strip off the chrome that it comes with (doesn't apply to this kit, since lights molded to body). I then carefully mask the clear parts, paint them from behind, then after the paint dries, wax the front side to make it crystal clear.
