I knew you would come up with something. Nice example though. Didn't know you were selling. How much? :tonqe:

Your spot on wedgenut re the Lambo doors terminology. I think they cost about $1500 for the conversion. One of them can convert and make it in such a way that it can be fully reversible. Don't really know why. Besides, conventional isn't in my vocabulary. The whole reason why I bought the Piazza was...

Those Delorians are cheap imitations, that is correct. BTW those are gulwing style (ie hinged from the roof). Granted scissor lifts have been before but never on a production piazza. They'll look better than those barstadised Delorians anyway don't you think?

Scissor lift 'Lambo' doors

Is it just me or does anyone else think these doors would freaking awesome on a Piazza. Given how the bonnet opens and the uniqueness of the body these doors would be a perfect match. If I had another chance I would get it done. Even a bloody Toyota Yaris, which has no business to have one, gets the...

Here's a picture of the box that I built mine from. It's a Bandai product. Couldn't find any more available on the net though.

From what I could see on the net there is also a 1/24 scale model from Fujimi, which appears still available

Thanks Izu069. Were these engines any better than the Oz 4ZC-1?

Another good colour would be that flame metallic orange colour that's on the current XR-5 Ford turbo hatch.

Very nice m8. Pity they weren't available in Oz. Does anyone have an imported example in Oz? :tonqe:

Thanks Piazzish. Paint was still original, except for the bonnet. That would have been original too if my stupid friend/mechanic didn't let it fall over whilst it was resting against a wall. Needless to say he's no longer my friend (along with some other stuff-ups). Live and you learn eh.

Well picked up there re the T bar. I'm sure it's somewhere in the cabin, perhaps under the seat, who knows. I was meticulous with this one. All the body panels were primed and sanded before painting. The seats have glued on cotton an painted fabric for a more authentic look. The suspension was custo...

A REAL Piazza! (G200W) And 1/10th - wow! There are other models around and 1/20th were reasonably common. But 1/10th! BTW - if interested in value , do not modify/destroy an original, and keep all parts of you do. (That gos for the 1:1 scale models as well!) Really sorry ISU069, but I just checked ...
