Default Good Honda's go to ProPulse Heaven

So a while back I picked up an MRS4 and lol asked me about running the Honda Civic body shell on a ProPulse chassis, well I did a quick mockup and in theory it looked like it would work:



Then yesterday I got a little bored so decided to just make it work:





Now by no means is this perfect but it goes to show that if you have a ProPulse and you dislike the truck and buggy bodies there is actually a wide range of alternatives that you can make work.

All I've done is badly drilled a few holes, added some sponsor stickers and a wing and added stickers to the windows to make the shell a little more interesting.

Enjoy

This is the short wheel base 1/18 MRS4 shell, if it didn't already have mounting holes drilled I could have done a better job, so if you got a brand new one you could get the fitment perfect.

The other big issue was that I have the alloy chassis upgrade, you really need to stock plastic shock towers so you can stand down the tops and get the body laying much flatter.

Also depending on the body it's better if you have longer rear mounting pegs, again so you can get the body sitting better.

Either way I'm pretty happy with it it will stay as my regular shell for the time being
