Thor Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 the engine is from a early aoshima kit, a nissan silvia (my pro street build) dont know much about it but the engine is a nice one with turbo and intercooler. thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 i started to mount a Mustang II front suspension today. it will free up some space and give a modern r/p steering. i`m not sure about the wheels but it looks like some watanabes. i belive they are made by fujimi thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
