Yes, Its a 180sx

Recently, i dont have much time, but today i have dry-fitted the chassis and body to see if i like it, but, instead, another question came into my head: what tipe of rims should i use?

[zak78]

Regarding rims: I think you should use the spoked wheels without the disks, as shown on the front. You did a great job painting the disks, but an e21 needs deep-dished wheels. Those look very much like Alpina wheels.

Hello! I am back with some photos of my BMW

I had a problem painting it, so i re painted it white. This weekend i had an asma problem, so, i can only continue the project next week...

But , also, keep your cat away from your model, that's dangerous

My cat knows if it ruins my model...

Dash is pleasingly accurate for an early e21. Center of the steering wheel should be black though

The curios thing is that i dont have pictures of the interior of the car, so its funny to know that!

[drawzer]

I have some fresh news! I have painted the interior rips in red to give them some color. What do you think? Should i keep them?
Besides, I have made some seetbelts in the back.

The red looks good and old school, but im not sure how much i like it. By the way, the spoked wheels look better to me. Very nice progress so far...

[voyageur]

Definitely go for the Alpina rims w/o disks!!!
I like the red stripes on the seats - but the rear seatbelts are WAY too wide.

Keep it on!

[drawzer]

New fresh progress! The back of the car is almost ready, the bmw logo misses, i will put it later. I also found some decals that simulate the blue stripe on the windshield to protect from the sun.

[zak78]

Cool! Where did you find that window decal?

[drawzer]

Its from the tamiya ford mustang.

Hello all! New progress here! I have repaired some damages that the model sufered, and primed it. Also, i've painted the wheels gold to see how they fit the car, i think they look gorgeous!
