I went to photo a long term project that my friend has been working on.

Theres a few more photos on MY BLOG (http://www.jt-culture.com/wagon-maker-180sx/), I'd really appreciate feedback on the writeup as its something I want to take further (its got the whole story behind the bodykit from 2005 to now).

I'm no photographer, so go easy on the photo feedback. I'd love to invest in some lenses, but I've got an S14a to make badass, so thats the priority!

The car is still far from finished, but it was going to have a filler in the boot* to keep it clean. I think the plans have changed though.

dude i have the issue of banzai that car is featured in, ugh its sooooo dang sexy! i love the detail he put into it, like the dash conversion, and that his fenders are metal.
i preferred the blue over this color tho...
**Edit**
wow now that i read the whole blog post, its freaking rad that he's made these as a production piece. any idea what the pricing range will be?

thats different, and i surprisingly like it. could use a wing, lower in the front, and it would be better.

The blue was indeed pretty badass!

Original Wagon Maker Japanese Tuning Culture (http://www.jt-culture.com/original-wagon-maker/) (Back in '05!)

The moulds were taken from that car so its a bit tired, but it will be back on the road soon :D

240KA, the original car above had a wing and it does look good. Steve (the owner of the cream car) is intending to wind down the front further, but he has to modify his coilovers.

Looks pretty good, except for the front bumper. I understand where he was trying to go, but leave light cut-outs to RX-7's.

Sorry, I forgot to answer brndcks question on price. He has a price in mind, and it will be very competitive compared to Japanese products, and IMO it'll even compete with replica products (in this part of the world anyway). Price hasn't been finalised though so I wouldn't like to say just incase.

This is beautiful. The rear end is the sexiest part. (On girls too)

so i dont really understand something here, are you saying that your looking to put the kit into production?

car does look sick... i would also agree that a wing would be a must

Different to say the least, but is supper clean and I like it alot. NO wing put a roof spoiler on it and be done with it.

I do like how the front looks and the doors look stock they need some type or cap to flow with the rest of the car

Friend requested him on FB and messaged on a price on the fenders+quarter panels...sucks that the production kits are fiberglass, despite his "unique" mix of resin.
