  just got this ride from a fellow member and I thought, what the hell, lets paint this shell to sorta signify a changing of the guard so to speak…. I dunno, whatever….. point is it s been cool doing it….
  
  I went to town on the prep, couldn t help myself…
  
  Sofar, this is it.. I still have a bit of detailing to complete. I don t have the front light bezels so I might be putting leds in there to detract from that effect..I was thinking of putting a fine racing line down the centre of the car as well, just to add to that retro feel I get about it….
  
  edit – it s Z8 not M8, thanks jamie 🙂

  That would be a Z8 Mate.
  
  Looks pretty cool, though that paint don’t do much for the scale appearance……it’s kinda like gravel…..god im a picky bugger.

  A friend of mine mark is not to far of what you had to start with before you stripped & painted.

  Marks rolled heaps because the things still stock as… but the height versus the narrow width may have abit to do with it
