Feels like I’ve gone down the mg rover rabbit hole and now these are pretty appealing as a next car choice tbh… in a high spec and an interesting colour they look great

George @thekingpleb.bsky.social · 27d

I think I’m tired of restomod culture in general, they’re obviously very well crafted cars but they’re all just bigger wheels + fancy reupholstered interior + usually LED halo style lights, all for 5-10x the price of the original car

Obviously I’m not the target market for these things, but…

Thoughts on the mg zt 190? Been looking at options for my next car and wasn’t even considering them until I saw an ad for one and my first thought was how well this design has aged #weirdcarbs

Interesting thanks, the one in the picture is at the pretty high end of prices (5950) but it’s a big spec and one owner with 65k miles, will have to do some research on them

Other options I was looking at were all 3UZ Lexuses (lexi?) in other words the sc/gs/ls430 so this is obviously a fairly different choice to them lol

The first time I walked past it they were both down and I didn’t even notice, it’s done really well

Maybe I’m going crazy but I kinda want a lexus sc430 right now

Stock they’re kinda cool in that weird way but lower it and put on some big wheels? Yeah that’s a cool car #weirdcarbs

Super warped, although this kit was printed in 1990 so I can forgive that a bit seeing as it had been sat in a box for 35 years

The end result WAS good though I was happy with it so I’ll take that

Finished it.

Hated every minute of putting the body on the chassis. So many fitment problems in general as well. Every revell kit I’ve made has been a mediocre experience at best and a hateful one at worst #scalemodels
