Hey Steve your cars coming along nicely. Did u overcome the radiator support issue yet?
Black and orange hachi would look like:




:O

Hey Craig - yeah, its getting there. The video was pretty inspiring. Car looked great and the driving was awesome.

The radiator support needs to be cut out and the one from the donor car swapped in. Need to arrange a body shop to fit and paint the kit, replace the radiator support and repair the damaged hatch and paint on the rear pillars. Also a bit of rust under the passenger side fender that needs attention.

The black and orange looks pretty cool - reverse fanta panda? Maybe a bit extreme though. Did you render those?

[Craig]

Hey Steve. Kudos for goin all out with the body work, is that rust in the front or rear fender?
Reverse fanta panda lol it is a bit extreme. Gunmetal IMO.
In forza 3 you can design custom layouts and upload them. No levin tho

Cleaned up the redlines off the latest donor car. They were faded and had that nightshade crap all over them. Nice and shiny now. Amusing numberplate also test fitted. Can't wait to get them on the car.

Whens the next trip to the hachi hayshed?

Cool thread

[haydenz]

plastic polish??? geez they came up real nice.....what did you get the nightshades off with???

[86coupe]

Actually just used some Meguiar's deep crystal polish I had lying around and polished by hand with a cotton polishing cloth. May get some proper plastic polish to remove the last traces of the nightshades. Wasn't game enough to try putting thinners on them.

Not sure when the next trip down to work on the car will be. I can't bring it to FNQ until I have somewhere to store it.

I need to take some time off work to finish this thing off. Here's a techno remix of progress to date.



Or for mindblowing HD version.
