whoa, classic... if you haven't checked it out already, you may like Gundam 00. I want a mini GN drive for the 'Stang! Waiting for the 2nd season to start - still a ways off.

I'm the second oldest out of four. One older brother, two younger sisters.

Arin has been sorely lacking in the "let's do stuff to your car" department lately.. And I really want to paint my wheels.

Last I checked 00 was still being translated into English, at least thats what my brother said. I'm pretty sure he would know better than me.

I still need to buy 0080, 0083 and the original 0079 stuff. Hell, and everything after that

so... much... gundam....

Right now All I own is all of Gundam Wing, 08th MS team, and the movies Endless Waltz, Miller's report, Char's Counterattack and G savior

Thank Jebas for eBay

I noticed from your avatar

As for model kits.. shoot, what didn't my brother and I have. I can't tell you how much money we spent on those lol. 1/144th scale is where we started and I eventually moved on to the better quality 1/100th master grades. I still want to try a Perfect Grade 1/60th someday...

I've been playing Gundam video games all day long

I made it. I looked online for pics and i found the sprites, or frames from the original NES gundam wing game, and I pieced it together. I had a better one, but the file was too big. I couldn't find any for deathscythe though If I do, I'll let you know

Hey Arin, how about you hook me up with some cliff notes on the II progress (pics too!). Tried to scroll from where I had left off, but umm that's quite a number of pages you got there.

soo

school got out in May, started tearing down the xterior of the car. Sanded, did some bodywork and embarked on my driveway paint job

Its now semi-flat black with a red "super snake" style stripe down the center, and two red sidestripes where the "COBRA II" stripes were. there is also a flat black carb scoop sitting atop the 302 now. I dunno if you were there for tha transmission escapades, but I now have a C4 in it. The carb needs to be retuned after me futzing with it to instal the carb scoop.

Theres also a custm front end I made up for it, based around the bull bar from a honda passport

and now, pictures!



hmm... theres alot of pictures...

forgive me for linking to StangNet but i posted all my pics in one post there, so at least this way you can see everything

enjoy

Woah! Very nice, color scheme looks sick (loving your carb scoop with red butterflies).
V8, C4, new paint. Definitely not the same II I remember.
Great work, its coming along great. Mine is still exactly the same lol
