Honey i shrunk the MK5!
« on: July 05, 2011, 09:33:27 am »
OK i thought i'd show you guys the new project.
First of all i dusted off my RC drifter following a thread on Edition38,



Then found this so brought it straight away






Then completely by luck found these





Which looked remarkably similar to these




So i got spraying and ended up with this (Shine thanks to a but of Tiki wax
:p)





Had a little play with some of my other wheels ;)





Still not quite finished yet, Needs stickering up then adding the light buckets and LED's, Then i have got to mount it to the chassis and take it for a thrash.

Also got some Fablon leather look vinyl for the bonnet bra.



So what do you guys think so far?
