Kaine83 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Got my first real drift chassis. Yokomo YD2E. Started building it today. Next stage is assembling the shocks which I'll hopefully do tomorrow. Not sure what body to go with yet. I quite like the 1966 Mustang coupe if they ever get stock anywhere.

Kaine83 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Not had time to look at this for a while, but the E30 body has arrived. I've mocked up a paint job. What do you think? I'll need to order some white paint, don't have any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kaine83 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 Started the paint job at last. Not a perfect job, but not bad for my second ever shell. This one is sat over the chassis, though not fitted yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
