Murphy's Law Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Fantastic job. Kudos on the interior and completely agree on the floor mats idea. Two things I will offer- The Y88 "Gold Special Edition" only came with the Fisher t-tops (the large ones) instead of the leaky Hurst Hatches. It also was available with the 15x7 rims you have pictured, but more than likely came with the 15x8 offered with the WS6 package. Here is a fantastic site with some good pics. (I didn't even know about the different colored steering columns or tail lights until I found it!) http://www.78ta.com/goldspecial.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The GTA Wheels look right at home on this car. Very nice so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Looking good. The paint job really stands out . . . keep it going . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Great! Those wheels are just perfect choice for this. And I like the color of it, paintjob looks very good too. Interior has really nice color. Great job with it so far, keep coming! And then, one suggestion: Those wheels look good, but maybe they should look bit better if you could apply just a little black wash to them. Thin Revel Enamel matt black works nicely, or I used Tamiya's acryl paint, matt black also. That is thin enough, no need for thinner... Easy little thing, and makes the wheels look better. Worth trying, and if you fail, only new coat of gold and wheels are like that again. Here is a picture of one wheels, I did like that.

Scalper Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thank you for all the comments and feed back. Yes the GTA wheels are the winner . There are from a gta built 20 years ago. they will get retouched and blackwash. I think the tires are from a fujumi kit I managed to get a header on going to try on the other on tonight after work. So I should have the engine completed tonight after my beer store run. Thanks for all the comments. Cheers .Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie_83 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 One this I'm picking out on this build...you shouldn't use a black permanent marker to black things out because they give off a "purple" hue that looks terrible. Other than that, the build is looking good! I for one like the Centerline wheels, but the GTA wheels look good as well. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Sorry I have not posted on this WIP latley . I am moving so everything has been packed.

Scalper Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Decided to work on this one today. She survived the move. took some quick mock up pics just to get the ball rolling again.. I would say she is about 85% done. Problem is that I lost 2 of the Fujimi tires for my gta wheels. hope i find the. Anyways hope you enjoy the bumper was taped on for the shots. Everytime I went to snap a pic it seperated leaving a nasty gap. Thanks for the support, Comments. and MCM for having this Forum for us to share,learn, and build friendships. Thanks for looking.
