It'sina kinda nice turquse/green/blue colour. Unfortunately it ad been built with the option chevy fenders and my replacements are red

It works the same as the paints do, just use your usual primer and clear you use with it normally. Bear in mind I'm in the uk so our duplicolour might be a different formula than yours

Stripped the paint from an original monogram 40 pickup only to find it is perfect underneath the paint, not even a light sanding to any of it, and nothing had been scraped for glung so theres only a couple of tiny glue damaged areas where the rear fenders mount.

Nope, I really dont have 6 of the hasegawa/revell t1 buses, honest or 3 69 chargers

iceman collections on ebay do a very nice modern style supercharger

I think they're just trying to get people that dont use/want paypal to buy on the site. I have noticed paypal doesn't work with some newer business sellers

Great set of racers and haulers

Aw man, you guys are flying ahead. This afternoon I pulled out the escort and tried the stock interior only to find its little use with out removing a lot of the race stuff so instead I pulled a pair of more comfortable recaro style seats out of the spares box. and glued the backs on as its a long drive in a race seat. Next I pulledout the uscp cossie engine to see what needed to be changed which led to cutting the gearstick mount from the centre hump and a bit of filing underneath so it wasn't hanging down too much I then turned my attention to the engine bay and its fit to the body. Turned out the fit left a gap at the sides and front so I used some angle strips to lose the gaps so that now it snaps in place and most likely wont need glue to hold the chassis in place after this I tried the lower sppoiler in place only to find the chassis wouldn't let it sit where it should so I ground the front of the chassis at an angle so now the spoiler fits where it should It will need a little filler later but for now the chassis is fitting without interfering with any of the body. Next I turned my attention to the front crossmember. I'll be giving it a lower stance so to enable this I put a couple of small extensions on the strut mounts and I'll be drilling them out once the glue sets. Now because I'm using a bigger set of rims I needed to do something about the brakes. After searching through my leftovers I found a set of corvette brakes that fit inside the rims but the calipers were hitting the back of the wheels, and they lacked any sort of hub detail so to fix this I cut a couple of squares from some styrene and drilled a hole in the centre. I then used my dremell cut of wheels mount to hold them together while I got them to size on a sanding pad. They wont really be seen but without them the wheels would have sat at a funny angle so this fixed that

you could try motobitz in the uk, they make some transkits for the mini and might have other parts. I know they have parts for the belkits mk1 escorts so it wouldn't surprise me if they had rally parts for the mini

I wouldn't do to much to the box, just get it back so it will hold the inner but state in the listing that the box is damaged and include pics of it. I would still list it as no box due to it being damaged. More pics is always good in a listing and if theres any scratches or damage be sure to include pics of it and mention it also in the listing. Dont be surprised if it gets a few watchers but no bids until near the end, ford guys can be pretty tight in the uk, lol

The pinto is also the basis of the cosworth turbo engines. If you have a pinto engine with 200 or 205 stamped on the block you have one of the better blocks. It was also used in the sierras in both carb, injected and turbo versions. In the uk we still tune the bejesus out of them and 550bhp isn't out of the ballpark, or up to 350bhp on stock internals. They can be tuned to much more but they lose reliability then. Severn valley motorsport put one of the cossies in an rs200 to take to pikes peak during the 90s but i'm not sure if they made to washington or not, but it was a impressive piece of rebuilding being fully carbon bodied and 950 bhp to all 4 wheels.

It depends on the rarity, but since you're in the uk and its a fast ford you could get more than you expect for it. I would list it on ebay towards the beginning of feb and make sure to list the scale and brand. January isn't very good for getting good prices. If you use ford and rs500 as seperate tags you'll get more hits on it, and a low starting price might help too, but be sure to have a reserve near what you want to get. Also when it sells be sure to pack it well as some buyers aren't very fair when it comes to condition received and will try to claim something back. Maybe filming yourself packing it and writing the address could offer you some protection from that. Looking at ebay there a burago with 3 days to go currently at £36 but the majority are around £60 and up with boxes.

fujimi rereleased the enthusiast kits within the last couple of years but they no longer say enthusiast on the boxes

Another awesome build

Nice collection, they all look cool but the airstream and trailer sure stand out

very nice technique

awesome evo, looks just like you would see at one of the Japanese shows

Nice collection, the old race cars sure look nice but the galaxy has to be my fav

For us in the uk it could be worth asking hiroboy if they would stock it. If your ordering from them they have a requests form after checkout and they are pretty good at getting requested items

Beautiful fleet, i like the 4 doors most but its a close call

With the right back grounds they could all pass for real, very nicely done. I'm partial to wide arch arch lada

Man that 48 chevy looks cool

Very cool builds, i particulart like the 65 chevy

Nice builds, i like the chopped and sactioned 39
