Here we go again. I should do this for a living now lol. Oddly the front bumper is almost identical to an R34 skyline bumper

Just prepped I did need to chop the front and rear wheel arches for the over fenders to fit

First clear coat done

Nice colour

Even judi dench approves.

 

[kacitgirl]

yeah watching quantum of solice lol

 

[kacitgirl]

i considered grafting a full R34 front end on but there's way too much of a difference from aoshima to tamiya but may be a future project

 

[kacitgirl]

Final top coat done and dried won't need another one or as usual polished. As Victor says in still game " that's plenty jack "

 

[kacitgirl]

i have spare skyline seats so i think a swap be in order i may also try and swap the dashboard too watch this space

OMFG the bumpers are a bitch to fit on this back bumper took ages to remotely fit correctly trying to get it align with the over fenders grrrrrrrr

 

[kacitgirl]

excuse me calling it a bitch but like me it is lol

 

[kacitgirl]

Well clear coat cured and both bumpers fitted

 

[kacitgirl]

i was actually looking at this thing from the back, it has a very fat backside with the bigger arches almost as fat as mine

Windows installed and rear lights completed. Tip. When doing any lenses go around the edges with a black Sharpie as replicates the rubber seal very well

 

[kacitgirl]

Done

 

[kacitgirl]

omg the front light lenses are a bit of a nightmare comes in three pieces each side and getting everything to line up is a mission pics soon

 

[kacitgirl]
