HPI Levin - 95% Complete

I painted the body inside and out using Tamiya Corsa Gray in an attempt to give it a primered look. It came out a little lighter than I expected, but I think it still looks okay. All it needs now are a few more decals and an exhaust, and it should be done.

  1. Remove the front-right wheel:

350Z Reborn

Tonight I mounted my old Tamiya 350Z body onto my Square TA05. The reason I still haven't done a new body for it is because I'm still deciding whether or not to buy a rear carbon damper stay (which would have wider body post positions). After replacing the front lip with one built from styrene, I think it still looks pretty decent.
