1996 Tamiya Honda Accord SIR
Having a Tamiya JACCS accord kit sitting around for quite a while, I have decided to do something interesting with it. I'm in the process of making it into a Japanese version Accord SIR, which involves putting a new front/rear bumper, new suspension and wheels. Since I have a damaged Aoshima Accord Wagon sitting around, I decided to butcher the necessary parts from the Aoshima to the Tamiya, and here's the results:
  The color of choice will be light gun metal with a darkgrey interior (German grey probably). Any comments/suggestions?

interesting conversion, but you could have kept the mugen bumpers and made it into a street racer( sorry I just dont like stock imports). But it looks as though your doin a damn fine job, so keep up the good work!

Opps... I guess great mind thinks alike, Ayala?
 Anyways, yep, I used the chassis and the interior from the wagon. Just need to shorten the chassis a bit and move the exhaust down a bit. Might get a metal exhaust for it later though.  As you can see I'm going for the stock look, I even kept the stock SIR wheels. If I can find better wheels for it I might change them out later, or maybe add a front lip to it or something... But in the meantime, I think these wheels look great. Let's see pictures of your car, Ayala
