My windows were like bonded to the body. Maybe some form of crazing? I got off the plastic, but the windows were stuck on, so I tried to melt off the window, and i got that hole.

Working on detail paint guys.

the windows have many attatchment points. you shoulda made sure you got em all, then push the windows out. they're just a tight fit. just go ahead and push em out. it doesn't damage anything. that's how i pushed my windows out

Okay guys, I'm arriving back in the states in about a week, and I have yet another new body, I think you'll like this one. Take a wild guess what kind of body All I have left is to fix this fried Micro-T board, order a stock-r motor, and screw everything in, and I'm ready to shred track Probably won't be ready for July, though


Thanks for looking

personaly i think the spoiler looks great on it, gives it that what the car was missing. i know it already had a wing before people rant but it just didn't do it for me.

nice job. i wouldn't have gone with testors though, i use auto motive spray on my cars.

Okay, looks like I'm keeping the GT-R I called my dad who is in the states he picked me up an x-acto, more testors (he didnt know i dont like testors), and putty.

If you need to see chassis etc go to the first page.

Woot, update after a looong time. Well, just countersunk the screw holes on the bottom of the chassis, shortened the chassis, but the shortest it will go to without the suspension set up being compromised is a mini-z long body (enzo). So, I have an old crappy enzo restoration going, a GTR body being fixed up, and a chassis to be worked on.

Pics tonight. Gotta clean up those countersunk screw holes

BTW: Dontspamme pm me quick.

Pics as promised









As you can see, the mirrors are hacked off, i have to work on that getting it smooth as if there were no mirrors.

All of the holes were countersunk to it each specific screw.

All of those who want the chassis build look here:

Small update, no pictures cause I need batteries.

1. Sanded down everything, and mounted disk damper system.

2. The disk damper system is rubbing against motor cradle, so either I go to a stock set-up, or figure something out fast.

3. The length is perfect for the enzo which is a positive

Hopefully some pics soon
