And I'm still missing that S2000

Haha, you'll find it , it's very nice!

EDIT: Is the S2000 quite rare?

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

M-POWER_FTW, veeery nice 'Vette you've got there, with that paint, it looks very nice! Can't wait for your other restos!

Thanks.
Should have the MR2 done this weekend, so expect pics then.

I think it's the first time it's been featured. First Editions usually have more value than remakes. Good pick up BTW. 👍

Awesome. So happy I found this thread.

I have an addiction to cars from VW, Audi, Porche and Lamborghini.

Sometimes i'll stray though.

This picture is from 6 months ago and my collection has grown since then, will update it asap.

I always try to get 2 of each so I can open one.

Will put more up as and when.

Ah, nice that you bring up that picture again, I’ll take a picture of mine today, the Pontiac is in good shape, the pick up is pretty much mint. In fact, I already have a pic of the Pontiac:

Also, you have some nice stuff there Nurburgthing, even a few Drag Buses. I’m still missing the black Golf, although I have the red one.

Still got lots of these in my house, but for now, I'll post the ones near my PC. These were purchased years ago, by the way.

Yellow Ferrari FXX with white stripes.

'07 Shelby GT500. Bought this because of the revival of the TV series Knight Rider.

'70 Pontiac GTO. This is the newest, it was bought months ago.

Ford GT-40. This one was a Christmas gift from a girl I had a crush on way back.

TOMICA Mazda Demio. Maybe I bought this because this car was a really cheap car in Gran Turismo.

'69 Ford Mustang Fastback, bought this wayy back when I was a kid.

Matchbox Chrysler Panel Cruiser. Anyone familiar with this car?

Matchbox Mercedes-Benz E 430 Wagon. Grille got removed from too much playing of toys as a kid.

TOMICA Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

TOMICA Subaru Impreza WRX STI Hatchback.

A group picture of all the cars posted in this post:

And got two cars that weren't opened from their packages:

Above: halleroder BMW M3 GTR
Below: Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (SL500?)

Both from "High Speed".

 

[Ryou]

Nice cars, but the Ford GT-40 picture is missing.

 

[uMadson?]

Nice cars, but the Ford GT-40 picture is missing.

Thanks. As for the GT40 pic, it's already there, maybe you're lagging a bit.

Ah, I see it now. Very beautiful, I want one

 

[Apok]

Obviously the camera thought the focus was on GT5
Love those Tomica's!

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Got the MR2 done. The paint is textured graphite metallic. I think you have to see it in person to really appreciate this one. Incase anyone is wondering, the car is primed, painted, and clear coated.

Before

After

What it looks like in sunlight, at the right angle.

Will have another car done tomorrow, will post pics up Sunday.

 

[Ryou]

That's beautiful! I absolutely love the MR2, so it was great seeing you restore it.

 

[Cano]

that looks pretty good with the white wheels! Needs general detailing though, like tail lights and such.

And about the detailing, I have the enamels but, just a little hesitant about going through with it.

Thanks. Took them off of the Citreon C4 Rally car.

if you are hesitant to do it with a brush, try with a toothpick. It'll take longer but it is way more accurate.

 

[SVX]

Very nice again M-POWER!

 

[Crumpet]

Love the paint, great job on the MR2 👍

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Thanks, guys!

I never thought about that, will have to try it.

New cars and new digital camera.

Tyrrell P34, Lamborghini Reventon, Shelby Cobra 427 A/C and Triumph TR6

Haven't found the VW Brasilia yet.

 

[Crumpet]

I remember having that Cobra, I stole it from a shop when I was 3.

Just grabbed it and ran out, I was really bad back then, weird how I'm shy and quiet now.
