Finishing these ones before I start new kits.

White plastic body but seems to need a bit of body filling and straightening bro, not as smooth as your typical model kits.

Guy at hobbie store twisted my rubber arm..

Rather use the dog kennels..

I've seen MK1 and MK2 eskie coupes in 1/24 but never seen a panelvan.. Would be keen too tho lol

Fiat 500

Hey all can you help me and maybe I can help you all..

Not sure if this is the correct section but here goes..

I am looking at saving anything and everything old school before you decide to send it to doctor death.. aka scrap metal..

I will remove in anyway possible rusty/crashed/incomplete and or unwanted vehicles and will give your scrap metal price for them! Or take them free if you would just like them gone or if your out of my 100km Radius..

Basically way too many cars are going to scrap metal dealers with salvageable parts still attached..

Once they go there they don't come back and we all miss out on precious parts weather they be rust cuts/chrome/panels etc and what a fucking waste that is..

I would like to offer people local to Tauranga and up to "for now" a 100km Radius to Tauranga another option.. Me lol

There is a waiting list if your happy to wait..

Eventually I will have a stock list but not available yet..

Feel free to send me a private message with pics and I will get back to you within a few days at the latest.

Thanks for looking and I hope to hear from some of you soon..

Fiat 500 is long gone btw sorry it's just an example of the shit I'm willing to take..

That's an awesome build...

Gonna be bloody sad to see it go actually, developed a bit of a bond with that car haha. 

Yea they are actually surprisingly nice to drive comfy and cruisy.. would go Soo much better and more reliable with a 2.0 dohc conversion tho..

Rota no motor..

If your familiar with the rx3 kit they don't have under hood detailing and no removable bonnet so mine is getting a custom built 20b lol

Excuse the dust.. should really clean them

LS300zx

Sacked out GTO

Haha awesome...

Let him know if he gets stuck I'd let rolling shell go for $300 minus all the important bits I want to keep for my v3000.

My wagon is for sale cheap.. I'd be prepared to strip it out.. make an offer for the shell so I can keep all it's good parts for my v3000 lol

So do I. Some how there is never any time available to do anything with them. Maybe when children move out an area/room can be designated my playroom and I can get back into it.

Always found the lack of available kits of "normal" cars an issue in the late '70s/early '80s. Plenty of exotica but almost nothing that you'd see on the road every day. Wish we'd got the full Airfix range of 1/32 stuff here in New Zealand. All the British car goodness.

Yea 1/24 aoshima and fujimi have the best range of jap classics. But ricks models do a range of resin kits too.. have seen monaros/falcons/rx2 coupe and Anglia 105e but gotta be fast on those ones lol

I like RX-3’s. Plan is to convert one of these to an 808 coupe.

Don't kill me but my first derby car 1993/94 was an 808 and brother in law did genuine tagged rx4 sedan both had piston motor for derby tho

Is that a Morrie Resin body?

 

I have a box of kitsets I've hoarded over the years for when I get old. Prized possessions are 2 aoshima Mad Max Falcons.

 

Also, I like that this thread stands apart from Diecasts. Diecasts are gay. Kitsets involve real building and modding.

Yes mate it's a Morrie panel Van resin body, I try to collect anything relevant to the "kiwi car scene" bettles/combies/bemas/mercs/and anything I can find jap

I buy them directly from Japan in bulk mate, heaps cheaper than local and huge variety of those JDM kits..

Look up https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/ they have a huge range and deliver to your door

I have a problem with them...

I don't have enough lol

Anybody else into these things?

I'd love to see what you guys have built that's NZ styled JDM type custom built kits..

Anybody can follow instructions (cough cough) but let's see your custom kits..

These are a few of my up and coming

the so fucking ugly it's cool citreon

Ae86

DX Corolla (close copy of mates old 12a j port)

Corona coupe

MK2 supra xx

GA70 supra (Copy of my real supra)

I never got photos... Id cry now..

1982 Toyota Soarer GT MZ10 bought it for $250 without realising what they are or how special they are.

Head on in Nelson with old fella who had sun in his face and a dog in his lap. Was a sad day

Shit I'm older than I thought I was 5 or 6 then now that I think about it so 85/86ish

Definitely a sickness, I'm on the lookout for more, preferably with live plates and not rooted, nice pooch btw, and that 4x4 one looks hard case.

Shortened range rover chassis and 3.9 V8 with 4spd.. still looks same I've not touched it in a while. Time to pull finger I think.. and thanks he's a good car alarm that's for sure lol
