Nalyd997 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I was over the moon when I picked the 8070 up off Gumtree! Since then I have spent many hours improving the aesthetics and adding drive and steering, which was quite a tight squeeze. I maintained most of the original functions except for the rear spoiler (I thought it was a bit ugly). I am working on the instructions but they are taking a while. You can check out the WIP thread here: http://www.eurobrick...=102664&hl=8070 This will be my last post for the year as I have got to get ready for the Brickvention. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and has a safe and happy new year! Edited March 16, 2019 by Nalyd997 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikuri Posted December 7, 2014 I really like it :)! Do you think a AA battery box might fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rishab N Posted December 7, 2014 Nice work. The only suggestion I would make would be to replace The 1x3 red liftarms in the front bumper with black like JunkStyle Gio showed here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Dower Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Nice work. The only suggestion I would make would be to replace The 1x3 red liftarms in the front bumper with black like JunkStyle Gio showed here I had the same spare parts left over from my build, they were used in the B model.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and has a safe and happy new year! Nice way of filling in the gaps in the hood area....i took a different approach. I used 8 of the new small panels to fill in the gaps....but leaving some are open to see the engine inside. http://www.bricklink...&colorID=5&in=A I also added extra headlights on the black corssbar on the front bumper. I really like the job you did on the back end!...can we get some pics of that area? Edited December 8, 2014 by Richard Dower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instructions are on the way, I am pretty sure I took some photos of the rear in the WIP thread (link is above in first post). I would like to see yours also!

nerdsforprez Posted December 11, 2014 I love the 8070. This is the set that brought me out of my dark ages. I know there were multiple super cars before the 8070, but I was not aware of them (I have since procured the super street sensation and I also love it). After I built it... I had to modify it. Love your mods... one thing I would highly recommend is using black rims though... heres my version with a ridiculously large air intake, black rims, and additional modifications... http://mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=354190&id=/user_images/100020/1361159791m_DISPLAY.jpg oopps... this should have posted the pic. Here is another try.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a great set and the best part is that I got it for $130! Thanks for the compliments, Jeppo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
