Rear Light Buckets,they still need end plates....I've made them from car side indicators(shown on top)
Cut from a plastic piece
Drilled holes

Mounted on the body with double sided tape and muffler installed using Yokomo muffler set accessories....It is even stronger than I expected....

The body still needs mirrors and maybe some stickers etc...

WIP;Toyota Trueno AE86-Part 3

Today I've masked the windows and headlights,etc.Overall quality of the masking tapes are again very low.Bad quality of HPI is the reason that I never buy HPI bodies,chassis,etc.(I only love T-Drift and some rims of HPI Racing)

Here you can see how bad quality this HPI body is.......I have no idea how to repair it...........

WIP;Toyota Trueno AE86-Part 2

I've cut the masking tapes today and custom made some lip and front and rear bumper canards.

My paint choice is Tamiya PS-13 Gold.

(W)ork(I)n(P)rogress Toyota Trueno AE86 - Part 1

This Trueno Ae86 body was my prize for being 3rd in the D1RC EURO CUP.Personally I never buy HPI bodies but this body is from HPI,no problem for me because it's a Trueno :)

First step I've done is cutting the body and opening holes for the body posts.Next step I draw the window lines to easily place masking tapes for the windows.

Overall quality of this body is very very low.
