Yes. its an import. But still Fun wheel drive. Bear with me. Felt like sharing as it is the building and tinkering with any kind of car that makes us enthusiasts.
I bought the car as a partial build in progress. I learned to never do that again...
Here is the car as when i first bought it.
First order of business was replacing the way in which the wide body was fastened to the car...
WOOD SCREWS??? *face palm*
Replaced with Rivets. Ya. Laugh if you want, but they were free...and strong enough to hold an airplane together...
Then I replaced the crappy ebay fenders with Origin 35mm wide body front fenders
Then threw on some wheels
After doing the rest of the body work, I prepped and painted my car. Using an HVLP Set up. Binks gun and 2 quart Pot. 1.4 tip and a 95 cap. PPG Paint.
after paint...
Then came the engine work........
