RFChris Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Found this... ...the other day. Its a bit rough, but its all there. I'm going to re-paint it and make it look shiny again! Thing is, do i go for a "Marty" and have it satin black? Or do i go for a "Jimbob" and have it two-tone? Chirs
RFChris Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 So, i started the Anglia tonight, and i should ave it finished later on! Here goes.... 1) The original car. Bit rough, but all there! 2) Car taken apart.... 3) Original glass was minging. One baby wipe later and its clean again! 6) Bent axles were totally nacked, so they have been removed... 7) Original wheels were a bit, well, poo. So as with any good car project we need to employ a donor! ..and then disassemble it.... (yes, i have modified that cage togo in the angry-box!) The evo axles were juuuuust too wide, so i cut them in half and then removed another couple of mm... 9) Then, via the wonders of araldite, glued them to the chassis. 10) While i was doing the wheels the shell had been stripped... and primered... Just waiting for them all to dry now. I'll give it the topcoat in an hour or so. Not black though, as i annoyingly ran out. But it'l look good i assure you! Chirs
Wessie Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 nice, you should run the old axles and have loads of negative camber your model looks better then my car
