Default Accent X3 2.0T by MaverickLC

This is my Accent X3 2.0T



When I bought it, it was in bad shape… rear brakes didn’t work, front wheels was going out off fenders, instrument cluster was badly painted and didn’t work…



Let the pictures tell the story…







































Then I parted it out;











Little fixing…















I planned to put 16” wheals on it but I needed to pool fenders little bit out







So I parted it out more!

















Then i made wide body kit and changed front bumper a little bit









































To be continued…

Todays update with little detailing





























I tried to put leather on the armature but that was over my skills so I did this;







Car is completely welded in engine bay and interior and engine is back in

Red metallic (see pictures in the end of my post)

I was thinking about white color but eventually I decided to go with red color

me likey! good choice of colour man, the original melon colour won't contrast too much with your paintjob, so your door sills and under bonnet will still look fine. yay!
