Thanks man but no thanks. The wagon will not be lowered that much and will not be lowered until after the rear bodylit is on. I do not want this car to be scraping its belly on every single speed bump or drive way

The FTRs look much better. Ticky motor looks at home too.

Coming along very nicely.

Cheers

I do have some designs for the wagon and not just in terms of the graphics, but the ideas are not going to be as loud as the sedans paint, they will be more sunderstated like the mitsubishi clear side indicators

They are very cheap new and all i did was glue them to the standard moulds and then used fibre bog and filled in the spaces in the mould and then painted it. They look almost the same as fairlane ones but $20 new with bulbs is so much better then the 100 plus some wreckers want for fairlane ones

Well today I removed the venom rear bar from the sedan and had it sitting on the ground under the wagon to get and idea of the size difference and to my suprise the size difference is very small. The main issue is with the more curvey shape of the sedan compared to the boxy shape of the wagon, but all in all the job looks to be easier then anyone had thought

Today I ordered some stickers for the front window and the tail gate, now I just have to get the rear badges off and tidy up the tail gate before fitting them. I will say though that the stickers will not be trying to hide what the car is

Ok today I had free time so I started on some little ideas I had for the car.

So I have a sticker on the top of the front window and a little sticker on the tail gate to replace the factory badges

Then I started painting my side moulds. I have only done one side so far and still need to tidy it up.

Now before anyone asks why? The way I see it, the car is an ex cab so why try hide the fact and just make a nice taxi themed car
