That car looks nice but I don't like the TC wheels on it. Makes it look like a Hot Wheels car. I would put some nice mini Panasport looking wheels on it.

Nice Capri Faster. My very first car, I had a Escort Mexico Mk1 that was done up for Auto Cross! I also had a mint 76 Toyota Corolla SR5 coupe. I wish I had both cars still! :cry: The tranny in the Escort was a POS!

I bet a set of HPI nostalgia wheels would look fat on there.

I know what you mean Tony13B. In some cases you just can't do it unless you have the kind of machinery to be able to work at this scale, but it can be done. If you can tell I'm having a little trouble when the motor is idling on the video. I'm thinking of using a single carb rather than using a twin carb set up. I think it's because of the twin carbs that it's running a little too rich while idling. Machinist that are willing to do the job of milling or grinding the pieces is hard to find.

I too love this body and old school imports.. isn't the Sunny a 210 in US speak? Wish I could have a 210 or a 510 in 1:1. Anyway nice paint on this and x2 on the mini size wheels. I wish that that body didn't cost so much, to me it's hard to justify $40+ for a body. The extra $20 can go for other parts...

Thank you losiXXXman I love old imports and in the US its a 1200 not a sunny or a 210.

The 210 is another model witch its a B210 and there ugly :lol:

I have a 1:1 1972 Rx3 and a 1:1 1971 Mazda 1200 that I am building little by little :D

I still have not gone to the hobby shop to pick up the cup racer wheels to swap out the TC wheels :(
