best i can do mate,



ill get some detailed ones another time - the r32 is brilliant its even got rubber brake lines under the car and the boot floor comes out to show the space saver suspension works too so the springs might end up being chopped lol

 

I like the blue R34 the best

 

Well no models for me for christmas, so thought I would buy my own and do some work on them.

Obvious one, will be standard inside and outside.
Has anyone got a turbo engine I could buy / swap?




Then the other one, wanted to do something different.
Can you guess what it`s gonna be?

 

is the bottom one gonna be a gartrac?

 

Damn you Gaz, lol,1st guess too.
Yes it is, hopefully something like this.
Cossie power too, my speciality.

 

just like the 1 i started

 

thats the bollox guys!! gotta be done thou

 

Excellent, what colours you going for mate?
I am replicating the piccy, tinted the rear windows, bit more sanding to do, then spray time
Goung for recaro road trim, looks like you going for stripped trim

 

how the wheels going Dave / Steve?
ive just finished my black mk1 escort just need wheels to finish it off
Dave u got any of them wheels u used to get?

 

not many left . got some !!
i started sanding down the series 1 kit and broke it arghhhhhh
bit of glue should do the trick. will carry on with it tonight.

 

Hi all Merry Xmas, I need to pick your brains !
I've got a Sunstar Xsara WRC that I've stripped , bit of a crap model but i only wanted the wheels,seats and steering wheel , the roof scoop might come in handy though !.
The wheels are for a Sunstar MK2 Escort rally wide arch project ,I have'nt got the escort yet , but i was wondering if the wheels will fit , they are approx 33mm high and 12mm wide.
Hope you can help
PS do you think they would suit a white MK2 ...

 

Those wheels should fit.

Tried to do a pic on my British Airways Mk2.






Dont know why sometimes theie clear & sometimes not.

 

they do fit but imo they look a little too big

 

stripped my evo and its almost done now decided on ash black pearl what you think






all i now need is the door caqrds from petey and my wheels to arrive off dave

what do you think of doing the wheels a mad colour like orange or yellow something like that or stick with black with polished lip ive done round the windows matt black too so they stand out

 

Thanks thebigmacmoomin and alangti , I appreciate the pics you posted ..major re-think needed in the wheel department !

 

ayt lads well heres mine but its 1/10 scale i have few more soo 07983000279

 

 

What u think ?? Red 1 up 4 grabs and the wite 1 in my album

 

 

 

 

well i did start it but never got finished,this is now my rs1700t,it was goin to be white with striped interior.
look forward in seeing yours

 

i went to modelzone today,albo they didnt have any yellow xr3's in mate.
they had the basic escorts so i brought 1 only wanted it cause it wa cheap.
put my rs16i stuff on it,looked crap with standard rims so i went for the six spokes



im thinking with the original rs shell i want to make a pick up but we will see.

 

now these are these wheels i would like..pic by combi van man , on a previous 1 18th thread..

 

they do look cool,i got mine from escortnutter,he mite be able to sort you out

 

That xr3 loooks nice matee im after 1 to

 

get ya self to model shop then lol

 

Enebody no wer i kud get a 3dr shell apart from kamtec

 

Fing is i wana 1/1o scale mate which yet i havent seen at all

 

is that for a rc car?

 

they do look cool,i got mine from escortnutter,he mite be able to sort you out[/quote]
thanks for that , will give him a PM ..

 

ha ha,maybe i could but its hard to part with them lol.
i dont have loads but i dont need another,only got 4 lol,2 avo's,van & the estate.

 

Top models.I got the same blue mk3 escort for xmas.Im still tryin to sort out the pics to upload onto here.

 

Thinking of changing this...

Into something like this ..


The Ghias are pretty cheap at about £20 on fleabay , I'll use the steering wheel,seats, wheels and tyres from my WRC Xsara, just need a full rollcage from a rally MK2.The bumpers should be pretty easy to chop down into quarter types,I'm thinking of using very narrow ribbon to replace the seatbelts as the plastic efforts are well over scale.Bonnet pins will need a fine pin drill and wire to get the right effect.
Should be worth the effort and make a nice budget track car with the right colour paint ..

cant u use the cage out of the xsara,make it fit?

 

yeye matee its 4 my rc car[/quote]


ebay sometime,tha were i got my 3dr cossie's,ive got 2

 

that mk2 mate has to be done looks awesome u can buy kawasaki racing green paint off ebay if you search it and combi van man aka rapid 3dr has them exact wheels on 1 of his mk1'sw

 

Yeah thinking about it i could use the xsara cage , it would make it more unusual ..
I have got to do this on a budget of about £30 ! including buying the model ! but i have loadsa bits and bobs in my tool boxes left over from 30 years plus of model making , this will be a real junkyard special !

 

oh yeah i do lol
here a pic
