Don't know how long this will last but I'll give it a shot. Right now I have about 18 models cars/trucks that I have put together. I started this hobby about 2 or 3 years ago. Now I have put these vehicles together when I had my NFSU2 days and yes, they are riced out. Now I'm starting to redo these models and make them look better (hopefully). I'll be posting pics and perhaps updates of my progress. It's just like working on a real car in terms of custom bodywork and such.
EDIT:
Also, I've been collecting actual car parts here and there. If they need some fixing I'll post them here.
Here is my 1st car to restore, I forgot to take a picture of what it looked like before but this is what it really looked like, but instead of orange its this dark green And the rim spokes were black:

Oh and also, I wanted to have a split hood like they had in NFSU2, so I had cut the hood/bonnet in half down the middle. Well that failed so I glued it back together and with a bit of cardboard pieces and a lot of body filler, I hid the cut with a roof scoop. It warped the hood and made it curl and I said whatever lol.
Ok, here is the progress I made so far:
This was what I had did to the interior... Yes i had painted it like that back in the days, its OBVIOUSLY going to be redone.

Look at that spoiler, its a dining table :lol:. Also the previous wheels are on the left and the messed up hood underneath the body.
Where is stands as of now:

I gotta head to the store for primer and paint to continue. I had to use a lighter to heat up the hood and twist it at many places to get the contours right and to make it fit properly.
