ive started another model 2nite
i want a white rs500 road car model in autoart
so i desided to do it to my texaco
the first thing i did was change the headlights,bak lights,interior,exhaust & some engine parts


& then put them bits on the yellow 1


then i realized the the texaco had no sunroof,no side stripes,2 petrol caps & bonnet pinns which i didnt want on the road rs500,
so i changed it all bak over to the yellow shell so thats getting painted white now lol
the texaco will be goin yellow lol
i changed the boot because the rs500 spoliers was of a minichamps & dont fit properly

do everything yellow with graphite wheels & details, do the front a-pillars of the cage graphite too as if it was to stop glare, would look mint.

just thinking mate, if you wanna swap the evo and scooby now and just send me the money when the bloke pays you thats alright with me?
