Matt H Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 P.s, Jamie, please put those lovely shiney Do-luck double 6's back on from when CJ had it This was one of my fav cars, but I really thought those black wheels were a poor choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Originally yes, it has been reshelled since then though. Did a fantastic job of recreating it Only change that stands out for me is the spoiler.

Matt H Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 So what's the history been since the re-shell Jamie? I remember Turbofit doing the work, and was it KR that did the body? What about after then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Looks awesome, good luck with it Jamie. Oh and it definateley wasn't that one i spotted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Im well happy with it, the bodywork is truly stunning. Spoiler is the same one it has always had. Really? I thought when CJ had it it was a TRD. Maybe getting mixed up with a different one. Looks cracking. I'm bias on the styling though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about after then? Yes mate, Turbofit reshelled it with Joes help, knightracer did the bodywork, and now SRD will be making sure everything is as it should be. This car will be 100% when finished no matter what it costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car will be 100% when finished no matter what it costs. So has it literally been doing nothing but sitting since the KR and TF work? After its finished, is the idea then to sell it or?
