When I did my first car model, I didn't do a very good job. It was a stock lancer evo 6, from tamiya. So I remade it into a stance car, but I didn't do a very good job this time either. Since it already looked crap from all this remodeling, this time I've made it into a makeshift drag car. The point was to make it look like it was made with whatever was at hand at your own backyard and not really taken care of.
Lots of custom parts made of whatever I had laying around. I have to say, it was way less stressful than trying to make it look perfect in every aspect
Now, i am finally satisfied how it looks

Love your videos. I’m getting a skyline gtr r32 next month. It’s been parked in a shed for 15 years and it needs a lot of work. Thinking about doing a replica of its current condition in a 1/24 scale. This will definitely help out lol

[modelrestorations]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing!
