Just finished painting 3 coats on the body. Has turned out really well.
The paint has had a bit of trouble sticking to the door and line seems but they will be covered when the thin black lines for the doors etc are done. The paint is Tamiyas TS53 and is a VERY dark blue....almost purple looking !! Not the worlds most shinest paint when its dried but with a good polish it should look fine. Sorry no pics yet untill i get back to work on Saturday to use the dig camera.

Well the lowering of this is turing out to be one MOTHERFU@@ING job !!!
Spent all day cutting, glueing testing etc etc. The look i'm after has proved all sorts of problems. The wheels i'm using are wider then standard and wont fit inside the guards. So i had to shorted both front and rear ends so i could get the wheels under the guards.Took about 1.5mm out of each side. Next...the tyres wouldn't tuck high enough up inside the guards for a Slammed look  I ended up having to cut 60% of the inner wheel arch out of each wheel to get them to fit high enough. Spent ages cutting/trimming and sanding each one to make it look like it was meant to be like it !!!. After doing all this, the front wheels still would not sit in the guards enough, so i had to move the whole shock inwards and drill new mounting holes etc because the wheel was rubbing on the inside of the body fender  This also meant having to shorten all the front end again. Finally after about 8 hours it was all looking good. The huge BREMBO brake kit sets the wheels of nice.

I'm really pleased with the end job

Last one. The photo is a bit crappy as i run out of day light but this gives you a bit of an idea as to what it will look like when finished.
Everything is just sitting there so i could get a pic and see what it will look like. Still got all the bonnet/boot/lights etc to go. Plus the wheels to attach in there final resting place in the guards. Then just finishing touches and glueing everything into place Im pretty happy with it so far.

Superb as usual Warren! The dark blue looks good! darker than I thought, as I was a dubious of Blue when I saw it! But turned out well!
What is the final stance going to be? I picture a slightly nose down stance, with the tops of the tyres hidden, but not the wheels! Please tell me it won't be as low as in the final pic! That doesn't look right!

It should sit a little bit higher as everything was just sitting there. The rims will hopefully be level with the fenders

Looks great! My S2000 was getting that nice smooth look untill I went through the paint to the primer
Anywho, I agree with Dan right now the ride height looks a little funny I can't wait to see it when it's done. Are those Fujimi wheels? Do you think you can take some pics of what you needed to do to get them to fit a tamiya kit?
