Bought this HPI E10 along time ago and has been gathering dust in my garage for some time, Have some time off so i started working on the shell for fun!
Note: i did not buy anything for this shell just crap i found lying around in the garage!
What it looked like when i purchased it.
Removed all decals. Thicker than usual 190 shell so had to dremel out windows then sand and mask for painting.
Found some plasterboard tape and all purpose white touch up paint followed up by a clear coat of spray varnish.
ROUGH looking but iiiii like it
Another angle
Had some old metal stylus pens i got off ebay 10 for £1, make great exhaust tips (although covered in tape in this pic)
Rims painted with black hammerite along with red cals. Have used the rc since painting so bit scuffed!
Crafted some simple backlights from some clear rubber stoppers glued onto some red paper.
The black marks on the back are where the number plate i made fits.
Wing and plate back on.
Added a pit of plastic tray to the back window rim from inside a greg's pastie box
3/4 windows in. Made from clear laminate and laminating machine. Added white border for style :S
Little test run with incomplete shell this morning.

Will post more pic's as it the work continues. Enjoy
