W.I.P Honda City Turbo

[iceracer1]

Hi,

While I'm still building on the widebody Honda Civic, I picked a new project out of my to do stocklist.

It's a Tamiya Honda City turbo. Very old kit and no details at all but I will make it as a crazy car . Big wheels, big exhaust spoiler.....

Here some pics:

love this car.

Yesterday I had time to work on the City.

I cutted out the grille and the bumpergrille. Than I cleaned the foglights and make the hole in the bumper bigger. Also the holes for the sidemirrors are cleaned because I'll use some other mirrors.







I searched in my partsbox and found a nice intercooler. I made some silicon tubes on it and applied a A'pex decal on it.







I think it looks very mean on the car

Good luck with fitting everything on that small car

why did you put the intercooler like that.

[vanzz]

crazzy))) but its fun! keep it up!

[porschenut]

looks cool with the intercooler

[iceracer1]

Yeah I painted the body.

First the primer:





Than I painted it Red as base colour:





And than Motip Metallic Violet.




and a couple of clear coat lays:







On the pics the metallic doesn't show how deep it is but I'll try to make better pics this week of the colour. I really like it.

I only had a bit of a orange peel on the paint but I'll polish and wax the body this week.

Hope you like it!

Hmmm again no feedback

I Polished/waxed the body and the colour is very nice. Especially in the sun







These are the wheels I'll use. They're from a Revell Tuner kit and I painted the spokes in semigloss black.







These are the original seats from the City but I think they're too big and heavy



I wanted some smaller seats and I found them in my partbox. They come from a HKS Kansai Lexus IS200



These seats are open on the backside so I used some styreen to clean the seats. I also cutted the seats and maked them more realistic to put some steel pins in it.





I don't know what colour the interior will be. Maybe white or someting?

I would suggest a two tone interior with a purple and black or something...
The colour on the body just looks amazing

Are you going to do the little cycle up to match? - Mark

Nice looking build.....I like the idea of a tan or grey interior?

[voyageur]

hi kris,

i really like the paintjob and your choice of wheels! Keep up the good work.

Cheers

[iceracer1]

Thnx for the compliments guys.

I made my choice for the interior. It will be WHITE

I think this looks great with the exterior colour. The dash will be shiny white and the doorpanels and the seats semigloss white. On the rear seats there will be a NOS bottle and maybe I use some CF decals or something.
