Lightbulb FUJIMI BMW 323i AFTER STRIPPING, SECOND LIFE, CUSTOM CAR, LOT OF PICS......

Hi everybody,
and thanks for your all comments about cars before.....

Today, this a new custom car............... an old BMW 323i, year 1987, producted by FUJIMI.....
I bought it from www.ebay.com (USA) like that, not very expansive but some principals parts have been painted... but i don't know how???? Very bad............Probably with a brush...... but i thought that i could give it a new storry for this BMW........
see the pic....


I used some spray clean hoven in a bag to strip the body and interiors parts.


Now with some nice 18" wheels of FUJIMI.......


The body and wheels were painted in white (automotive paint)....


I used some 4 discs BREMBO (nothing on the box) and used a new muffler of a BMW M3 (1990) with two new pipes in aluminium......


The front grill was painted in dark black with some bare metal in the 4 optic lights.....


The all interior parts were painted in dark blak and mat white....




Now, with all finitions.... the BMW 323i is on the road.......:flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash: :flash:








Thanks and i will appreciate your comments........
Laurent from FRANCE......

What a difference you made from the paint did by the ebay guy. Laurent, you are the King, I think you should send the pics to the Ebay guy to show him how you did with his ex-toy......:silly2:

Nice colour matching, Are you going to do anything to the grill? Because IMO it lets the model down.

Your work looks good, however, Fujimi really botched this car really badly. The roof line, shape of the front end and center grill surrounds are all wrong. Thank goodness Scale Kraft offers a corrected version of the old M3.

I am happy that I don't have dial-up, I wouldn't want to miss these great cars of you. Another superb job, allthough I like the BMW with the lights more, only because it has working lights in it.. Sets it apart from most other models.. But keep them all coming.

Only 1 question, could be pics a bit smaller so sidescrolling isn't neccesary to view the whole model..?
