awome , really dig this !

looks stunning and bad ass

nice !!

hmm to bad still want to see this one completed !

brrr that paint > stunning

thnx guys and joe well i think so i must admit i hace robbed some parts out of the kit in the past and used 2 bullets so yes it must be .. the box says 1991 (year)

whow that toyota is awsome , love the z as well awsome job on the wood

i dig it , like said here some washes with darker stuff to get in the deper parts will make it pop even more .. looks great

omg how stunning , that just looks sooo good

well people are saying chop the roof chop the roof but so far i still dig the stock roof hight ....maybe .. not sure yet made the kit mount backs for the wheels a lot more narrow and made it so they fit in the tyre with the rim / hub cap so now its low and the wheels are more in the well this is how it sits on the front wheels , all mounted and this is why i did the more narrow track now it looks realistic when it steers in or out clearance wise it will look more exiting with the bullets in the center sticking out a bit and that hood needed to be cleaned so i sanded the merc name and logo of and the center molding , while keeping a look out for the wedge line in the middle so all the lines where preserved the front window opening was ... hmmz after removing the center pilalr so i sanded that so the shape was nice and smooth al aroumd and this seems small but i removed the ugly molded windshield wipers man i had to remove a ton of material to get that whole strip smooth , in the end i even filed and sanded a new shape in it and using a round file made a transition from the falt part to the pillars ..

thnx jason and yes i have been wanting to build this one for a while .. found the absolute perfect wheel tyre combi !!! i looked at a lot of pictures of merc's and in general i really loved the wheels on the black one below also the fender skirt in the gap .. going to to that instead of on top i also love when the wheels are in more , like a more narrow track now back to the wheels on the black one ... now i just should find these hub caps in my partsbox (yeeejjj) almost identical , i will make the center flat and add some bullet type centers in these , together with the white walls i just love these

thnx guys

started on the stance , made metal pins in the steering rod , what amt made up wasnt really working lowering was easy since amt provided a stock and lowered version loose on the table with the fender skirts then started some cleaning , the rain gutter had to go gone , redid the doors panellines , still rough work need to be finetuned later headlights , there where to options like a stock one and a custom one where the glass was sitting deeper in the housing .. i was playuing around and sanded a bit on the originals and glued them in from behind instead of through the front and man that was the look i wanted deep and the lines where just perfect when i put it on the wheels i saw the tyres where to much on the outside like to close to the well , so i am changing the wheel backs and make the rack more narrow the stance was pretty spot on like they look in real life hanging back a bit , (rake) but i never likes that .. so i used smaller diameter tyres to get the front lower and get the wheels turning all the way in and out

its nasty hahahaha

nice ! love that color on there !

nice

oh well no hurry right ? and you should only build when you really feel like it ...

body and stance look awsome , just sand and sand and sand i would say haha

thnx joker i will take a look at those !!!!!!!!!

nice !! perfect , love the stacs with the red , the headers , the wash on the body , high roof looks awsome on this .. just about right haha

hmm curious on the body !!

whouw thats just stunning !

started simple by cleaning the side moldings after some filing > smooth removed the pillar in the side window and also the 2 pillars in the back window i wanted to keep the roof original but its itching to chop it .. i wan to look at some mercs tomorrow and then decide
