Nissan 180SX
Time to get out the sheet styrene & Tamiya putty as I'm doing this one with a bodykit. It's the Fujimi type X kit and so far I've roughly built up the front bumpers & sideskirts - obviously the rear bumper needs sanding down but you get the general idea.
For colour(s) I'm thinking black roof/hood & the rest orange. Anyway here's the pics - sorry they're a bit dark.   Thanks for looking Andy

Re: Nissan 180SX
Great start, Maybe do a kinda darker orange, i think that would look good.
Keep us posted!

Re: Nissan 180SX
Spent a bit of time sanding down the rear bumper - think it's just about ready for a coat of grey primer which'll show up the areas that need further work.
 I've also been fiddling about with possible wheels (I just threw the first set under it to take the picture). 19" look too large imo & I only have limited 18" rims in the spares box so possible alternatives are - Kranze Shoki  or Workmiester S1  I'll wait until the paints on before making a final decision. Thanks for looking Andy

Re: Nissan 180SX
I say go with the Kranze wheels. They are different from what you would normally see on a car like that.

Re: Nissan 180SX
Thats a tough one.... both the Kranze and the Workmiesters look great. I would probably lean towards the Kranze though.

Re: Nissan 180SX
Looking great Andy! I love the feel of it. I'd say Kranze wheels.

Re: Nissan 180SX
R34 rims
 There was a car at LSU and at the autocrosses there, just like the 180 you're building, with R34 rims in the back and something else in front. He had to do a lot of bending to get them in there, but it was hot as hell. I got an extra set if you're interested (I think). Otherwise, the Kranze are bit cruise-y, and the Workmeisters are more drift-y.

Re: Nissan 180SX
I really like the direction this is going. I was trying to find one of these kits to make into a sil-eighty, but I winded up doing the s13 as is. The kits are looking great, and I think the paint scheme you have planned for this is going to really set this one off. Keep up the good work.

Re: Nissan 180SX
Now that I'm fairly happy with the general shape of the body kit I've given the bodyshell a quick coat of primer - as expected it's hightlighted lots of areas that will need some more work so it's back to filling & sanding
   Thanks for looking Andy
