Believe me man i'd love to be able to show some pics of my stuff but i am still yet to get a digi camera. It should be very soon when that will happen and im working like a trooper to finish off the current projects, get the website done and get it all off the ground.

But because your so impatient I will show some more dodgy scanner pics - just for you!

They are

S2K with finished Mugen Hood (added the lip now by the way!) and almost complete Mugen Hardtop. The Marga Hills wing is done at the back and the front is almost done too.


The 180sx still in primer stage and awaiting to have molds done. Atached to the back is a prototype of one of the C-West wing stay's which will be photoetched.




This is a naff out of focus compact cam photo of what the 180sx looked like 3years ago. Thats when i first had thoughts about aftermarket bodykits and made this. Only the front end remains the same - based on a MR2 Bomex bumper, i was never pleased with the rest which was not based on anything. It now has Bomex side skirts and rear.


And this is the 180sx Interior which I have just finised re-doing. It has photoetched seat belt harnesses and carpet!


So thats it for now, I will certainly post better pics when i have a digi cam.

That interior looks great, and the 180SX looks really good on the Honda wheels!

Yes, Its a 90% finished Mugen top. Still need to fit and shape the rear window area then the whole thing needs going over with some sanding and a little putty here and there.

Just 1 question

By eye and with the use of one of my most handiest of tools - a Caliper! The method i use is to do exactly what u have done on one side to the other - every cut, carve, nip, glue and sand needs to be equal and the caliper is alot more acurate than using a ruler. Its also helpful for getting things in proportion as u can use it, along with good reference pics to compare measurements on the car.
