Hi guys, this is my S2000 progress, been working on it for few months, still struggle with the body mod, the rest are almost done, here some pics, C&C welcome ^_^












the last pic is the original wheel & aftermarket wheel, the red stripe are added
also the seat looks dirty, might strip it and redo <_<

body and chassis:

Looks good Entau...

Smooth work on the front and rear skirting. Brake looks shiny and nice selection of wheels.

By the way, you might need to cover the chipping on the front bumper. Otherwise it will show when you apply primer and paint.

thanks druid, yeah..still got lots of work to be done, this is my 1st time modding with bondite, so still experimenting with it :P last time sand after 1 day, find it too difficult to be sand, notice dat when bondite harden(but not entirely) around 2-3hr is easier to be sand and cut

If you want your work on Bondite to be much easier, right after applying the bondite on the area, wet your finger and run it through the surface. This will smoothen and level the surface of the bondite making it easier to work with.

thanks for that tips :)

Entau,

The pic looks exactly like real cars undergo major body modification. keep us updated.

i hope can finish it within a month, only left the body, lights and some detailing stuff

Very good progress Entau. The interior look very realistic. The replacement wheels is really cool.

Keep up the good work.

Nice progress you have there Entau... hope to see more on your progress on the body.. Keep it up man! B)

nice!!can't wait to see the finished model..entau,the side skirt take from s15?

nope, its from nismo z-tune's extra r34(original) skirting ^_^

so what color you will paint to that car..?metalic,solid..? ^_^

gloss black + matt black wheel with red trim :D

little update ^_^

primed the body with surfacer 1200 using AB, close up some part abit rough & not perfect but really no mood to perfect it, next is body color, it will be BLACK :P

no mood to perfect it..??
cmon entau,make i smoothhhhh brader or u will nangis after u paint that body color bro..black color will show everything include small minor2 calar bro.. ^_^

no worry, those small area not yet smooth i will smoothen it, but some area mainly near the skirting abit bengkok, some part i over sand when try to perfect it, so i guess i'll just stop here as i dun wish to continue tampal putty, sand, prime, then repeat boring process again :P

huhuhuuu..may the force b with u
dont 4get,more picture ^_^

So far so good Entau...all the best in the body spray ya ;)

little update ^_^

modification done, here is how it shuld look like when complete compare to original





interior done, havent glue yet

It's looking good but it looks like the front lip is a bit too low. Might get into trouble if you reach a speed-bump... hehehe... Other than that, it is looking great...

My two cents only...

druid u right, its too low, when i realise this abit too late d, :P

after this kit, i think i wunt do another body kit mod in short time, very time consuming (for me), sometimes kill the fun when mess up :cry:

I don't think it took you a long time to build a body kit... It is actually trying to get the body kit to look "just right" and suit the car is the hardest part.... other than the building and sanding and cutting process lah... hehehe...

yeah... i scratch my head more than sanding the body :P

little update




1st layer of mist coat, using gaia pure black, realise some tiny scratches, u are rite snakeripper :cry:




after 3 mist coat and 1 wet coat, paint start to gloss up, but lots of orange peel, but can be smoothen by wet sand and polish :P

some sanding and polishing will eliminate those 'calar' and orange peel.... ;)

I like the color Entau...btw, gaia is the brand or ???? :huh:

yeah its a brand, its gaia pure black, quite nice to use ^_^ think it dries quite fast too

peter, it's "gaia" from gaianotes.. some that tkting has been bringing in under his sales thread ;)

thats why i told u already entau,black will show everything..huhuuu
but just like master pcevo said ^_^ ,sanding n polishing will eliminate it.mayb repeat it 3 or 4 or more times looo...good luck bro...
more picture... ^_^

little update


i broke the windscreen pillar, 2nd time in a row, YES!!!

anyway, glue back with extra thin cement, but not really secure, forgot to take close up pics :P


black is really hard to work with as little tiny scratches is very visible on close up



after polishing to test the surface(only bonnet), everything looks ok, but duno why i go and try wets sand with 2000 grit then with industrial polish(soft99) and get this deep scratches,
but anyway im going to AB another layer of black as some part over sand and the broke windscreen

very Glossy surface you got there Entau... as for the 'calar'..is it deep? if is not then you may want to use Novus 2 to polish them..it might work rather then respray the whole body again... :)

those glossy pic u saw is before it get the deep scratches, :ph43r:

anyway i just respray another coat of black :cry: really lots of work without patience

little update




under chasis done, add some heat stain to the exhaust using clear orange, clear blue + purple


1st time do flocking, not really nice but after put everthing on, not much is actually visible :P


window trim done and polish with tamiya finishing compound

now waiting body to be dried ^_^

pc EVO,where i can buy Nouvus 2 polish..?

little update

finish polish the body with tamiya coarse, fine and finish, and i broke the pillar again :cry:
but nevermind, i'll mask the whole body and just respray only the front windscreen pillar




sorry bout those dust sticking on the body :lol:

DONE:


Here's the completed pics :)
