Man Tonio, you are the king of imports. Some rare kits in there. You just don't see MR2's anymore (I have the turbo and Supercharger waiting to be built in my stash.)

Here's a GEO Storm tuner I built a few years back, to prove that an "Old Guy" could. :)

This one, I guess isn't strictly a tuner. It's a box-stock Subaru WRX with custom decals.

This one is a sort of 'Euro-Tuner'. It's a Jaguar XJ-S with scratchbuilt bodywork and a wing from Aoshima (I think).

Only one I have photos of. It has a Aerovette chassis under it and has a small block Chevy behind the seats. It was my attempt at getting the American musle into tuner ville.....

Oops, forgot a challenge that was thrown my way quite a few years ago. It was a brown bag of parts and the challenge to build a tuner car out of it. It has the Shelby Series one chassis and driveline under it.

Lol, thank you. I still have a widebody MR2 to build when I get the right set of wheels for it.

Jason, appears we have similar tastes in 1:1's. Any pics of rear car?

I'm kind of surprised this thread has gotten the response it has. See mostly hot rods being built; not that there's anything wrong with that.

The first one was me with the car about a year before it stolen and wrecked.

This was after the wreck and when I gave up and moved along to another project.

These are a couple of older builds, at this time the only Tuner cars I have completed.

Believe it or not, both of these cars are actually painted with the same color, a 60/40 mix of Kiln Red and Alumacoupe Yellow, only difference is the base and what color Pearl-X was added to the mix. The AE86 is based with Allis-Chalmers Orange and has Copper pearl, the GT-R has a buff primer base and Gold pearl.
