Kandi 2.0: The Suspens(-ion) is Killing Me!
One of the first things I worked on for Kandi 2.0 when I received her was the footwork. There were a lot of parts to transfer over. However, I quickly realized many parts were worn out; looks like spherical bearings on a semi-daily driven car doesn’t last forever. Over the past couple of years, I […]

Sometimes it gets tiring working on Kandi 2.0; that’s probably why I still haven’t finished it after 3 years. I picked up this 1:24 scale Nissan S13 Silvia during my trip to Japan.
