New Colours are growing on me now.





Looking good I reckon.

Wheels will be silver or darker once finished I think.

I know it is a bit sad, but could anyone photoshop the colour of the body work above the wheels onto the wheels? i.e. the rear ones being red and the front silver? It will probably look gash, but just curious .

If that looks too much, then the wheels need to be the same colour as either the Reyland or the strip that this is written in... .

I see where you were going Mike. I few of the drift cars and race cars do it. It can look good Don't think it will though. Worth a look though.

The wheels are either 9' or 10'. Finished car will have 10x 18's allround

In my mind I can visualise the silver / red wheels and I think it won't look half bad . Martin needs to post a full side on picture with both wheels on for the photo-shop girls .


Quick Reply: Some more pics of Martins Escort. Its taking shape...
