Richard has been the driving force. There have been many times that I've questioned the wisdom of a project like this. Anyway, the car will be back at home in my shop very soon (as long as there weather cooperates) and I'll get some skin in the game and start the assembly. Maybe then I'll feel a little more motivated- at the moment I feel like I'm just pouring money in and getting nothing in return.
Yes, much of the cost was due to my change in direction from the wide body (ToySnakePMC contact me to get those wide body parts as they're still for sale
Anyway, I agree with you guys about the white. I scoured the internet for the Light Ivory paint codes, and had several panels done by Richard but none of them really caught my attention. The car is definitely not original, so I went with something modern- the colour is from a 2019 Honda Type R Civic I "Championship White". I hate to admit that but it's true. The colour is not the same white that's on a standard Civic, but instead it has a smoky shade to it that I just love. Some black wheels and some very subtle colourful highlights (red?) and it really pops.
Here's a car that I found somewhere in the internet that I keep coming back to lust over.
