Custom 1972 GT-R
For some time now I wanted to get a drifter mini-z short base and very wide.
But the body mini-z came with is Lancia HF, very nice shell and I wouldn't hack it.
However, with 3 point offset wheels I had I knew car would be wide
and a Skyline body( Pht2 had dropped in the package
) is a short body.
Perfect candidate.
The car seemed like it's been through battles
I couldn't let go to waste, this one's got history.
So, the evil plan emerged :

Now, some stickers and it's ready to race.
Some specs:
Ball bearings
Alloy dog bones
2 degree camber front
1 degree camber rear
Stock(soft) springs front
Green(medium) springs rear
Alloy batt cover
PN racing Speedy05 BB
Drift tires
+3 offset wheels

That's awesome!
The rear looks a little boxy to me, but the front looks great.![Confused :???:](./images/smilies/icon_thinking.gif)

Re: Custom 1972 GT-R
Thanks Dave.
Yeah, it does look boxy. But with +3 offset that's what happen.
I was actually going for the classic Japanese GT racer look, and I really wanted to use those wheels![Smile :smile:](./images/smilies/icon_eyemouth.gif)

I am going to have to debate that point, and say the third pic looks the best.payaso wrote:The very last pic is the best. Rock on dude.
