escort looks good jason, what about a nice subtle silver but do some brightly coloured graphics and race numbers? or black?

finally finished my lexus today, i got the jap police scooby off roy (thanks again!) and used the numberplates to finish off the vip look i was going for..
been stripped and started too many times to count lol

toyota decuma grey, subtle kit & lip spoiler, lowenhart LDRs


amber fogs, toyota supra 2jz engine (half of it is self made, only the block, intake and outlet manifolds are from the supra)


camberrrrrrrrr, red/black vip'ish interior, flushed boot, half tinted rear lights, lip spoiler, fart can, jap plate


still has the undercar puddle lights too but theyre pretty dim in daylight

not to everyones tastes, but fits nicely in my collection. will have a similarly styled 'partner' in a few month.

Bit of an update on the Merc AMG , since last week managed to strip and spray the shell in primer.The Maisto castings were crap... took a lot of filing , sanding and more sanding to get it really smooth !





Sorry its not a Ford but its a nice model to work with , off to Halfords tomorrow to get a nice orange/red colour for it...

they copy mate but hardly any have the attention to detail yours have.
Its the little things like the moss and grass that add the finishing touch.
The one on the bay at the moment will do well as it is quite a rare model to find anyway.
Have you got any pics of the christine you done a while back?
Is that also your one thats on the bay at the moment?
