Every restoration gets totaled first.

This body was originally intended to be white for my duo anime project, but enamel can spitting totaled take one. After frowning for a few days, I decided to strip it and repaint it as a track car. After plenty of booze, shaking, scrubbing, and finally a new attire this babe was restored better than ever.

I'll kick off with a little teaser that surprised me at a Target a few days ago and pix of the Z will follow tomorrow.

And a lesson learned- NEVER paint acrylic over enamel if a glosscoat will be the finale. Had to scrape off the skirts and quickly repaint in silver since the glosscoat literally turned the acrylic into mush.

nice job man XD

[spitfire]

I like it. The rims plus color fits that car realy well. good job!

Thanks guys. I lowered the nose as well, as seen in the body tilt via side pic, because stock made it look ridiculous. It still has plenty of rim clerance, so nothing was sacrificed.

Lotus... argh cannot recall the model name. Elan? Europa?

But, killer choice, love out of the box car choices.

Just wait for my eX-Driver anime duo (hence why this Europa became a spare, I want my duo to be flawless).
