S15 Project reborn :)

hi guys,
i've built a orange/black S15 a while ago:



and actually at the same time i was building another S15 as well orginally in gold colour with carbon fibre bonnet:


unfortunately, i've cracked the body when i was polishing it and the left sideskirt was damaged when i tried to pull it off (was trying to put it on my orange S15). So it was then left in the box for a while but one day i've decided to do something rather than leaving it in the box forever. So i've stripped the paint again and repaint it in a different colour again (the 3rd time!!) and I choose to paint it yellow this time 8)

Stripping the paint:

modifed the front bumper a bit so it matches the sideskirts more


After Primer:


After a few coats of yellow


What it looks like now:



The body is quite fragile now after the paint was stripped a few times so i'm trying not to polish it too much (rather have some oragne peel than have a cracked body again!!!) And if nothing goes wrong, i'll probably finish it by this weekend.

Hmm seeing that real S15 in your garage makes me hate Nissan for not continuing the "240sx" in the states. I want to move to Australia.

RyanGiorgio: Yeah they are the Andrew Racing Goltdish 18in wheels. They look quite nice and they do look like 18in wheels as well. I was thinking of getting some TE37s or similar but always no stock so i decided to try the Racing Gotldish and it turns out not too bad I imagine they will look awesome on VIP cars!


Corvette: Thanks.. but one thing.. New Zealand is NOT part of austrailia We are a separate country and we are the only country outsdie Japan that has the JDM S15s for sell

Zwaag: No i was not planning to do a replica of the 1:1 s15 but more like using it as an example to see what would look good and what would not on my real one Also i have no $$$$ to buy any bodykits/wheels for the real one (all the money goes to performance parts at the moment) so the model can help me feel a bit better

Unfortunately the body is really fragile as i said before and the panel lines are not as sharp even before i start painting it
