Remember the ugly duck ?
This would have to be the car that i hate the most in my collection....but i put the Primera on hold for a few days as i took to this ugly thing with the the tools !!!....god i hate this thing !!
Its now sporting a MAJOR lowering job  (about 1-2mm from the ground !!) ...i'll get some pics up as soon as the wife brings my camera back home.Its amazing what alowering job can do on the same wheels. I used it as a bit of a play around for something abit different to do ...i guess you well either like it or hate it Heres a pic of what it did look like

Well this is turning into a major rebuild
 Not happy with the finish of the paint so its being sanded and will be resprayed in black again for a better finish. Decals have been removed and most parts removed for repainting. As i said this is a bit of a practice car and not to worried how it will turn out...but its getting SLAMMED...  The lights will be done again to make them look smaller.

the car looks small because the rims are big for the car,it's kinda like an illusion

Master YODA! I have one of those Fujimi ducks and I didn't think it looked too bad. I ended up using the AMG rims froma a Tamiya Mercedes 600SEL sedan and lowered it a bit. Here's a pic from 5 years ago. Yes, yes, typical me - It's NOT done! Just lowered it painted and left to die.....I mean dry.
Maybe it was the choice of rims Master Yoda that caused the model to look odd. Hope to see progress Jedi master. Maybe, just maybe, I'll have inspiration to finish mine. -Walter
