    Did the wheels come with that kit? Would they be way too big for the 2002 kit?

    Nice work. I like that Impala.

      Yes they did. I used these wheels here on this 2002 https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...&postcount=742 they are the same size as the Alpina e24 wheels. I had to narrow the rear wheels and use the front tires on them plus notch the top of the wheels and tires to clear the struts and shocks. Now with this turbo model and the flares, I got to see if they will fit it.

      And thanks!

        Turbo is done. Wheels fit but could not use the rear so they had to be cut down to the same size as the front. Also had to cut the arches and trim inside the flares to get the wheels to fit.

          I like the Ireland Engineering sway bar on the back ;)
          But you forgot to install the front one.

            Kit don't come with a front sway for some reason, they forgot it like the armrest and door panel detail lol.

            Edit: Got to thinking, could make a sway out of some brass. Look around to see what Hobby Lobby has this friday.

              I am starting on 2 mid 50's station wagons. 55 nomad and 55 ford. The ford kit is a 2 n 1 kit stock or gasser. The 55 nomad is a Boyd custom. I am making both of them gasser's !

                First time in a while I got some 1:18th diecast. My parents got me the early model for Christmas and I picked up the late model Alpina a few weeks ago.

                    Off of eBay. Minichamps has this red one and a silver one, both are stock. Then they got a few race versions.

                        Finally decided to start working on my aoshima m3 again. Got it finished up and am doing decals. There is a ton of them so its slow going. Will likely finish them up tomorrow one thing about this engine kit that i didn’t know is it sits to high for the hood :/ it can go on but sits goofy. The stripe decals are also to big. I got them lined up properly and once they dry and harden over night i will trim them.

                          Looking good, bummer about the engine filament. I hate large decals too, the black Alpina was a headache and they still turned out crooked..

                            Yep. Had i known the engine was just a tad to high i could of lowered it and would be all good. But its fine i can just display the car withe hood off and make a little hanger for it in the clear display case i will buy for it.
