The project had good quality, probs for that. but on a civic i wouldnt recomend it. Civics are kinda like the ricer car so doing that to this car wasnt the best idea.

the skyline how ever.... the rear fenders and front looks good! but the bumper......... kills the face of the car..


still tho thats some good fabrication to make it look that smooth.

blue will be a good color. you should 2-tone it, with like a white stripe in the middle.

un-vent the rear bumper to match the rest of the car's style.
i think this one should be a 1 color paint job.
update tomorrow please. :P

i know ....i really don't like the skyline
it was just something i thought i'd try out ages ago.

i know what you're saying that it being a civic, but the whole idea of this project was to make something that doesn't look like the car it started off as...i don't want it to look like a civic i want it to have my own design, it was just the basis of the civic which i've built upon, as building a body from scratch is going to be difficult...regardless of what body i used...it wouldv'e looked pretty similar i would assume.

cheers lads has been quite a long time coming...

oohh found out my interviews been rearranged until the 25th which gives me a week longer to perfect everything....so basically....this project will be done very soon so stay tuned.

your window detail is disappearing! ohno!
looks great. i think the vents kinda kill it because the rest of the car is smooth then suddenly, vents.
have fun sanding and shaping your masterpiece

all in good time my friend
i guess i could've had it all smooth.....but a car without detail looks boring i think....

need to sand it and shape the rear end more...then front arches need to be done....sand the whole thing and shape it a bit more...then should be OJ for primer...aim to get bodywork finished aroudn this weekend

Really liking the subaru hood makes the front look even meaner. Excellent body work so far will look great when its finished.

if you do go with blue for the rest of the car, black details like the vents on either side of hood scoop would look realy nice, btw are you going to go with headlights now that you've got a different hood

It's the Jap/Euro Subaru bodykit hood. Rather rare and expensive.

Looking real nice! Can't wait till this LONG project is finished!

Haha, atleast for us in North America it's rare. Saw them for $45 each on eBay and other places.

Can't wait!
