Hello Gents, I bought this body from eBay last year. The poor soul was already painted but the owner mess up the paint job so he was selling it for cheap. I found the body few days ago while cleaning my workbench and was gonna throw it in the trash. I was bored at the moment so I decide to restore it. I strip the paint and cut out the roof... sort of like an experienment. Here's the result and I hope you guys enjoy it~

Your work gets better and better VC. Can just visualise this in a Cannonball Race!

Looks very very nice! Compliments!
I like it that you've put in drivers.
How did you make such accurate and strait body-panel lines?
Kokuzu
Perfect. Guess Walter Röhrl is the driver ? (Porsche Test driver - former multiple times Ralley world champion).
Chain Driven
Very very nice! How did you do such clean black lines?
Victorious Secret
Thank you gents so much for the kind comments! I really had fun building this one! The black lines are done with thin strips most of the time. Very simple stuff just take patience that is all!

Brother RallyeBaz: I would love to build a Wrangler! I think it would not be hard to do since there are so many masters here on this forum I can get inspiration from!

How many stunners can a brother make ! This is really nice and the removed roof makes it perfect.

Brother Kokuzu: I did not know Walter Röhrl is a Porsche test driver. What a plesant surprise! Now I feel better sticking the rally driver in the car!

alex-digital
Kinda speechless! Just amazing. Nice experimental work. A yellow bolt out of the future. Love it, actually here in England we do have a rarely used saying - 'top banana' (meaning something is great) as I'm sure 'the green beetle' alludes to, most appropriate. Brilliant work mate.

I honestly never liked this shell but this one changes my mind, looks fantastic when detailed to this level, great job.
_anders_
