Project - Restoration
Like many of you, I am not lucky enough to get these xmods in new/mint condition, nor do I have enough funds for them new most of the time.
But I do get some deals from time to time, on some messed up / scratched / or project bodies. I thought I should try to restore them a little bit, with the little spare time I have. Here are a couple of rare pieces I have. White Subaru with C-West side skirt and rear bumper http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2474.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2473.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2461.jpg Not much to do with this one besides finding the stock pieces. The body is nearly mint with a couple of very thin scratch lines. Heavyly raced Orange HPI with stripped hood and front bumper. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_7957.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_7956.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_7954.jpg Will try to get a hood for it, and replace or recolor/redraw some of the decals. White NSX project - Spray painted blue than silver. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1462.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1455.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1454.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1445.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1451.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1447.jpg Basically will sand it down to the white, and apply a white coat to get it white again. Did one similar with a yellow one, from way back in the days and installed the white kit just like this. It was a pain to match the paint. And now I couldn't remeber where I got the paint, nor do I rember the paint code. Blue Z project http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/IMG_2117.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/IMG_2109.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/IMG_2113.jpg Not too much plan for this one cuz I don't know how to match this blue. Will try to update this as I find time to work on the restoration. |
Holy... Is that a legit white Subbie?
If so, you've got a dang nice sized penny sitting there. |

Here is a little update on the White Subaru. September wasn't too nice, but I did get a pair of the stock skirts from a package, sent by the Xmods ALL MIGHTY! http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2284.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2285.jpg Off with the C-West http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2287.jpg On with the Stock http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2289.jpg Stocktified skirts http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2290.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...u/IMG_2291.jpg Now I just need a stock rear bumper, and maybe a less scratched front bumper. Let me know if you have or seen them around. |
