After your car is finished

Im just wondering if you guys continue to work on your car even after its finished, like adding a different wing, or doing some thing to the engine.

When i dont have any other models to do i usually do this, right now i have been doing all kinds of crazy shit, I added a wing to my 350 Z and now trying to put a 300 ZX TT engine into it, i put a mesh grill onto my 3000 GT TT and took the wing off the 350 and put it on there.

heres a pic of the 350 with the wing on it.

So does any one else redo cars after theyre finished? if so lets see some pics.

and also im sorry if i put this in the wrong forum.

im gonna try to get some pics of the 350 with the engine in it tomorow, and pics of the 3000 with the wing on it

I do the same, like add details and parts to my Supra, Integra, etc.
I have a friends that used to constantly work on one Integra, making a bodykit, after bodykit on the same car, adding wings, different paint, etc.

When I'm done, I'm done. The car sits on the shelf and collects dust or goes in a case that does the dust collecting for it. While I don't redo my models, I'll often break them up for parts if I wasn't satisfied with them. I usually have a pretty fixed vision of how I want the car to turn out when I begin, so I don't really have any reason to take them to bits. If I have another vision of the same car, I just start all over again. It's been maybe four years since I really got into car building seriously, and it's neat to check out all the cars I've built since then, and how far my skills have progressed.

That's just me, though.

I usually don't touch them either. If I do, I usually do something drastic and screw the model up. I've learned from those few mistakes.

For me finished means finished..

don't touch them, they go into display closet and sometimes I might even take the dust off and re-arrange them..
