Nausicaa - Project Update - Images from A&L Auto Body (10th Set)

Update from A&L Auto Body.

The tires look super chunky without the rest of the body panels on.

More or less assembled.
No images with front bumper or headlights and windows yet, but you can get a general sense of the appearance.
The tail lights are the old smoked ones off my wife's old Prelude Mintaka. I am not sure whether or not there will remain with the car as they could cause problems with safety inspections, maybe?
Also you can see the JDM side markers in the front quarter panels. Fun story about that... 

We ordered new JDM front quarter panels from Password JDM because the car needed new front quarters as the original ones were dented and in rough shape. So, when you order the JDM ones they are supposed to come pre-drilled with holes for the side marker / side turn signal. Well, turns out when the shop unpacked these they shipped the markers but the panels were not pre-cut. Yay...


Anyways, this whole purple/white thing does not appear to be going too badly. If you think the exterior paint looks off it is because it is only primed, not finish painted, as we plan to wrap this car since it will primarily be a track car.

As always, I hope to provide more updates soon.
