don't say that... I got my 280ZXR in my sophmore year, by the time I woulda been a sr. I had all these

they're out there in a "need help" condition cheap just gotta find em.
an R-31 would be cool but being in the states they're not something you come across very often.

but back to the subject at hand.

thanks for the compliments, the camo looks better than I thought it would being gloss, but the colors worked almost perfect.

and I forgot one... this one will definatly be redone...
 
found em behind peoples houses and offered $100 or so to get it out of their way...
the silver 2+2 needed a radiator and the others just needed fuel pumps, the red car with the autox numbers was a turbo car too
 
Got bored! Did some paint works.

I know the paint is not perfect. i didn't want it perfect. :)
 
AOS-
It looks pretty decent, so what did you mean you didn't want it perfect?

Thanks man. actually i meant, the blue stripe doesn't matches the color that has been used in the original car. original paint was darker. i didn't want to buy another paint, that's why i said that :p
 
AOS-
I don't like the 300 whatsoever, but what you did works. 👍

Ahmed's work and car. The guy hadn't posted a car of his own since the Beeebe & Mulligan dragster, which appeared in april :lol: all of his posts had been about contests or other people's cars, so he was well overdue.

But yes the thing takes on an entirely different look, specially with the big drop. You should have seen the chassis, it had to be practically destroyed to achieve it, but it was well worth it.
 
Yeah. I have lots of old 80's Hot Wheels and Matchbox Lesney to use, but I would like to rust up some of the newer models (like the 240z, Charger, Demon, etc).
 
That would look sweet, few trees and leaves covering the cars aswell.


Edit - could do the death of the "devil z" from wangan midnight.

No way man, that looks AWESOME.

I can't find any of the Matchbox 260z's anywhere sadly. But I have some old Lesneys, Corgis, and plenty of 1980's Hot Wheels that are in poor condition which I can use :) plus, they're cheap on eBay if they're in really bad condtion. As for the trees and stuff, where could I get that?
