sdangers Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hey everyone My second project i would like to share inhere, is my build of the 79 TA. My intention is to do it a litlle more "modern" or "fresh" or whatever i should call it. Basis is the AMT Anniversery edition (silver/grey), which showed up to take up a little work. I´ve started up making bumbers fit the body and sanded everything in shape - i also removed the marks from the t-top, as my edition will be the one without. I have also opened up the front lights as i will replace the kit ones with some with more depth As i am a big wheel kind of guy, i found the kit wheels just a little to small I decided to use the "honey comb" wheels from the 77 TA Revell kit and to modify them to fit these alloy rims and this is, after a little modification, how they look now and fitted to the alloys they look like this now All 4 wheels are "almost" finished and ready for some paint I also managed to give the rear wheels a deeper dish look aswell Here are a few pictures the current state My inspiration for this build is the "Year One" TA Bandit edition - but mine will be candy blue instead of black - and if i should want to make the real one, i have a 77 TA in the stash waiting for that project So guys, thats it for this project - more to follow. Hope You like it ! Thanks for looking Soren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carchub Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Nice work on the rims! I don't usually like low-profile tires, but those wheels really compliment the style of the car! Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
