colin Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 This my first conversion Started this last weekend, i stripped down the UH Renault Ares, got a britains 155-54 took floor pan and cab off it,cut the weight block down as it was too wide then i painted all grey bits with Renault grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I then painted the floor pan in Renault orange as the britains was wrong colour, then painted the inside, then repainted cause wasnt happy with it and add gear sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
