geetee66 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) This is the most recent model I've built. I have to admit, it took quite a long time. It wasn't easy. I've never really modified any kits before. I guess it's because building them more or less box-stock presents enough of a challenge. But when I saw the kit came with the facility to turn it into a wagon, I couldn't resist. I tried to find other examples of this kit online and I trawled forums looking for ideas. It seems the wagon version is not a popular choice for this kit. I'd like to have a go at the convertible, one day. I had to cut shut lines for the tailgate and figure out where the hinge would go if it were a 1:1 car. I needed to add the top horizontal bar on the tailgate as this was not present in the kit. Without this piece, the tailgate/glass would've been inoperable. There were issues with warping on the roof, body and floor pan, but it all seemed to line up when I put it together. If you make this kit, beware of using aftermarket distributors as there is very tight clearance with the underside of the hood. I had to do a bit of messing about to get the fit just right. Extras on this build were amps and speakers from Scale Dreams, MCG distributor, Pegasus wheels and Detail Master flocking. I used half round silver wire for the rear bumpers and tailgate trim The engine has an interesting intake arrangement: Edited December 5, 2011 by geetee66

Erik Smith Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Very cool. I just ordered one of these kits with plans for the wagon. Nice job. I like the paint scheme and color choices. Thanks for posting.
crazyjim Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Looks cool. I built one as a wagon like you and plan to do another.
Chuck Most Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Very cool- I think this is the first time I've seen one built as a wagon with all of the custom parts from the kit (and then some!) used.
