this will be a drifter (sadly). my chassis isnt set up for racing.

Update: more work, but taking shape on all areas now







C&C welcome!

Front bumper style looks kinda awkward to me, but other than that its coming along very nicely.

Thats some nice work your doing there.
You must have a lot of patience.
The front looks like the Opel Astra DTM car.

I may resin cast a fair number of these if the final product and first cast turn out well. I'll also be changing up this widebody after i make a mold of it in HKS form.

update

(its missing two circular
vent holes from the front intercooler vent. as well, its missing hood scoops
and hood body lines. this body might fall apart with any more work, so i may
keep it as is. minor changes may be the door handles.)







and quite some sanding ahead of me.

Thank you everybody!
I haven't done much to this. I tried applying a metallic gray base coat, but then ended up sanding quite a lot of areas.
I've also created / finished applying a rear diffuser to it.
