wel i thought i would just put some pics up as im slowly getting through the models & the pics are building up on the cam so got them in my pb.

this use to have big minilites on & deep dished but i fancied a change,
so i took the allan mann apart so i could rob the wheels & engine

i just love the trumpits on it


this was my 5 turbo that i used for parts as i broke the roof,since then ive started to rebuld it,fixed the roof put putty on some of the holes,made the back lights & spoiler,all the stuff off this 1 went on my blue 1



been busy on the s2

still wanting more putty

got this today of phat c,changed the engine for a rs1600i 1, did put aa cossie rims on but then i wanted to be diff for a change,so i took the wheels of the manta,i kinda like it but it does need a spring chop lol

it has front bumper with spots on aswel now

got my goodies from mm lads today,i love the comps so much ive been trying them on everthing lol ill be getting some more soon.
i kno they look ace on the xr3 so maybe it will be getting some

but i got these for my s2

they look yummy

cheers MM boys,they are a big improvement
