    Hi,

    I want to start an ambitious project that you will all be envious of if I succeed!

    However, I need to remove the wheels from a 1/18 Autoart Diablo. Has anyone done this and if so how do you do it?

    Thanks in advance

    John

    You've rumbled me Matt - I can't wait any longer for Autoart so I've got an APM resin 6.0 coming (I just want the wheels really - bloody expensive wheels) then I'm going to modify the Diablo GTR's front wings and use the bonnet, doors and boot lid from a VT. Not sure what colour to do it though - torn between, yellow, orange, monterey blue or graphite.

    It'll take me ages so don't hold your breath!

    Haha John, you and me think the same! To make you feel better, by the time your finished, there will probably be a 6.0 on the market, hehe, just kidding.

    You know exactly what colour it has to be, ORANGE!!

    I do love the orange, then again I love the yellow and the blue and the graphite and even gold!

    I'll keep you posted.

    I think there's one for sale on Ebay at the moment - horrible chrome after market alloys though!
