Thanks for the comments peeps

I didnt paint it myself, my mate did.

The wheels are painted same as the car (not powder coated)

Now all i gotta do is get the power to match the looks

Right, i lost intrest in the car over christmas and january time, id just plainly had enough.

Ok so then i got the bug again and ive been a busy boy...

So i started with repacing the brokenn wheels


And got some nice new sticky rubber for them


I decided to paint up alot of bits





































Next update is stripping the interior and painting...
