Custom 1972 GT-R

Post by ynad »

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 :-o ) is a short body.
Perfect candidate.
The car seemed like it's been through battles :twisted: 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! :-o


The rear looks a little boxy to me, but the front looks great. :???:

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:

No vid yet. Once weather and opportunity align, I'd get one done.
well, it took me a while to get some decals on it and it is finally done.

I am going to have to debate that point, and say the third pic looks the best. :razz:

That looks killer, ynad, the decals really help fill it out. :-o
