cruz Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I have been trying to finish this for the longest but I have been working so much these last couple of days it's amazing I finally completed it.....I will be addind a license plate in the back later so here are the pictures.
ismaelg Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Very nice! Love the wheels. That car is always a favorite here. I would give an arm and a leg for a scale version of the 79....(75-79)
Zoom Zoom Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Great build! 8) Where did the wheels come from? My Corolla had steelies but I put some vintage custom rims on mine.
Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Cool, I love it! It won't have to have pennies anymore! 8)
MrObsessive Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Beautiful job Bro! Now you got me wantin' to build one!
cruz Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 Great build! 8) Where did the wheels come from? My Corolla had steelies but I put some vintage custom rims on mine.Those wheels are I believe from a Tamiya Celica that was sent to me from Puerto Rico by a great friend of mine. I had them done in resin and Alcladed, didn't want to use the original ones until a bigger project down the road......
cruz Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 Beautiful job Bro! Now you got me wantin' to build one! I already told you how nice it would be if you could build something like this specially when you decide to do it replica stock, it really is something different and cool 8)
Daniel Peterson Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I loved watching that model through its progress. I hope you can dring it Saturday! I gotta get some photos!!
Andy Wyatt Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Nice job on something you don't see built everyday! Can't wait to see it up close!
Randy Kern Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 A nice & tasty, very clean little pocket rocket. Always an admirer of your builds! 8)
cruz Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 God permitting I should make it Saturday, just love my model clubs man and the friends ain't too shabby either :shock:
MrObsessive Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I already told you how nice it would be if you could build something like this specially when you decide to do it replica stock, it really is something different and cool 8) Bro, it wouldn't be replica stock...........I have something more sinister up my sleeve. For those not familiar with these little terrors..............lets just say I'd "Puertoricanize" it! (calm down PC'ers.......I can say that because they're in my family! :mrgreen:)

Pleeeeeeease, at least think about it :roll:
