Nissan 240sx

This is my entry for a comp over on Autemo, and my first complete chop of 2011. Hoping to take a step towards being better than I used to be...

Pretty much the entire thing is brushed or re-brushed, except the tires, brick wall window refs, and parts of the fmic...hope you like it. I think I'm pleased.

Chop looks sweet! I love the 240sx. Something doesn't look 100% with the interior, I think your passenger seat may be a big too big or too far over because the interior looks a tad off. The rims look sweet and suit the car. Bumper damage looks sweet, I also like the intercooler piping. I think your headlights looks VERY toony (the actual lens).

All in all, good chop.

Thanks for the comments. There were a lot of firsts for me on this chop. I had never brushed wheels, headlights, interior or damage onto a car before. So it was an experience. Overall I'm pretty happy, but I agree with you about the headlights...I was never able to get the result I wanted...but these looked better than any of the donors I found to paste in there. I get what you mean about the seat too..couldnt place it, but it seemed like something was off. I actually started out with the passenger seat closer and moved it right at the last minute.

Ah well, it was a good chop to start the year off with. I just wish the windshield refs werent covering the interior so much....before I brushed the refs on there I spent way too much time detailing the welds on teh roll bar and stuff.

Your wheels are looking like they are going to fall off at any minute(too much camber!)
