Progress: Part 4

I decided to stick with the stock side mirrors and installed them this afternoon. I also cut the front body posts and smoothed them out with a dremel:

I took care of the exhaust late last night:

Progress: Part 2

Today I finished the rest of the body lines. Now I need to choose which side mirrors and exhaust to add:

Progress...

It's still far from finished, but here's an update:

Tamiya BMW 320si W.I.P.

This is the body that I did the wheels for. I'll most likely paint it white, but I'm still considering a couple of other colors:

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.

TA05-IFS Build - Part 3

I finished the chassis last night. To complete it I installed a Tamiya Sport Tuned motor, Tamiya TEU-101BK ESC, Futaba R153F receiver, Futaba S3004 servo, and Speedway PAL D9 wheels (7mm offset) with ABS. All there's left to do is finish up the body...

The chassis is almost finished. I still need to build the dampers and install a few other parts, then it's on to the electronics.

TA05-IFS Build - Part 1

Today I started work on an IFS kit that I'll probably have completed by the end of next week. I'll be taking my time because I still have a few parts on the way.
