Default After almost a year of work, here is what happend...

In-frame engine rebuild, every hose on the car, turbo, suspension, color change, every window seal, body seals you name it, I touched it. I made money on the last build, I think I will keep this one for a bit! The GT3rs green looks better in the sun light. The top pic is a better representation of the color. The bottom two are washed out by the light and my crappy cell phone. You have to really like these cars to put this much time and money into them. Now I just need to find the left and right side lower front body trim. I have the long pieces, but the front short pieces were toast....

Don't get me wrong, I also like "over the top". I just think the giant Porsche crest on he the hood has more of a "I HAVE A "PORSCHE" LOOK AT ME" flavor than just a really cool over the top build like the other one you posted.

Love the colors and other accents though, strangely including the giant "Porsche" down the side. Probably because it's got a factory flavored to it!

Just my opinion though. Take these hood crest comments at about 1% of the overall build. And the "I like" the build at the other 99%

Don't get defensive! I value your opinion! If we all liked the same thing, life would be boring! I'm a 50 year old who likes bling. I can't even figure me out! Cheers��

Good work, I kinda dig the PORSCHE decal down the side as well, it stirs some part of my reptilian brain I think.
