Old School


Canards are taking inspiration here fronm the side skirts, sculpting the front bar more aggressivley.

You may notice a little old school RX3 inspiration in the front of this one. I opened up the lower lip of the bumper and lined the air intakes. Of course in reality these would feature an OEM style honeycomb mesh.

This shows where the inspiration comes from. Pure RX3 in every way The bonnet line is changed on this one. Axis rims are cooooool. 


The retro colours from my last post combine very well with these small changes. The Marlboro race livery almost looks like an old school race car. The chrome adding a nice accent. You may also notice the window angle has changed on this one too. I'm an RX3 fan from way back. Maybe no Leaf springs in this one though.

Stick to some custom bilstein coilovers from Nishiki Brocade Suspension tuners.


This Le Mans Efini Version  based on the 787B le mans livery looks great. I didn't like the actual replica I did in white, but these subtle changes look great in military grey with the lights deleted. Pretty special.

BTW the direction has changed. I have basically exhausted the possiblity of building this car in this calendar year. So focus is on something a little less cost demanding. but definately when space, time and cash becomes available, the LE Mans Concept shall return.

Stay tuned.
