Hello guys,

ok am back with my latest commission build, its a prep of ade hall's RS1800 X-pac with a La modz twist lol

this build is for the same guy who had the mk1 escort RSR built by me,

I started on this about a week ago and have progressed quite a bit so pls enjoy!!! lol

So I started on this.
I used a brand new model icons mk2 escort police car for this build. I have stripped the model down and took it back to bare metal using paint stripper
The wheel arches were bored out using a dremmel tool to create the stance before I build the new x-pac body kit,
I have been using some F1 bbs wheels as guides for the new arches
I am going to use some ultra deep dish bbs e50 alloys for this build but have no tyres, so out came the scalpel and I began ...to cut out the F1tyres so I can use these for the bbs e50s.
Now that I've got the right size wheels and the stance sorted I can start on building the x-pac,

I am going to change the engine on this one and replace it with a carusol brand F1 McLaren turbo race car engine, as my client wants a turbo powered motor
this engine is made from diecast and is quite heavy and well detailed but will get further detailed,,,

heres a quick mock up

Engine work done
Built a new turbo system adding some waste gates,K&N air filter,HT leads,braided fuel lines, real metal oil cap,oil filter,breather pipes.turbo vanes.And other ancillaries
I cut out a vent in the bonnet so the turbo system can breath better allowing cold air into the K&N air filter
I have also cut out the front lower valance to make room for a fmic.
