right , thought i would start with this one .
have not posted any pics up for a while but all sorted now so here we go.

started with a stripped down mk2 rally shell.


then added some xpac arches designed by me !




snoothed the front end out to get it ready for the nosecone

 

Cracking work Steve, my favorite ever mk 2 had this kit.

 

cheers mate ,
this is a commission build replica of the customers actual car of which i will add some pictures of towards the end of the build.
will get some more pics up in a sec as i have about 4 threads to get started!

 

got the rs2000 nosecone wedge on the fron and sorted out some light housings , again designed and made by me!

at this stage it is all about getting just a general shape together as most things can be changed and tweeked as i go along.



you can see in the next picture that the front spoiler on the rally mk2 shell has now been lost due to the wedge being attatched and will at a later date be re added.




with the basic shape there and the arches sitting correctly i now set about the bodywork , i add primer as i go along to help find any imperfections and smooth them out as best i can

 

you guys are just toooooooooooooo good i cant even fit an already made bodykit lol

 

you just got to keep at it mate , you will get there , trust me!
here is some more pics for you.
again , primer added and matt black to the nosecone to get a rough idea on shape and size ,
not looking too bad


quick test of a front grill



at this stage of the build i was still waiting for pictures of the actual car .
when i recieved them it had an xpac kit the blended right in to the nosecone , so i had to add some more to the front end and add the front spoiler.

 

this is where i am up to with it at present , i have added the extra to the kit to blend with the nosecone.
just got to add the air vents to the xpac kit and that will finish the build work.
then just general rubbing down to get it ready for the diamond white top coat!

 

u make it sound and look so easy but it takes skills

 

bloody hell that looks awesome

 

cheers tony ,
i must admit i am liking the way it is turning out.

 

fook me how did i miss this lol,you goin to have to stop with all these idea's you do mate as it makes me want want want

 

i thought u were feed up with the modding and thats why u selling them all off.

thought so,he asked me to make 1 on another forum awhile ago & 3 weeks ago but only replyed lastnite as always forgot to go on there lol

only agreed to it if he left me to it so i can take my time with it.
its starting to come together now , will get some update pics up soon .
going to finish the projects i am working on now and then stop doing them for a while as i can not stay motorvated on them because of everything else going on at the same time.
ive got 3 to finish for other people .
