Looks sick...

[Kruizer]

Damn do you have a day job?

Ya dude, just tip away in my free time but I'm sure you know yourself it ain't easy with herself and the little man takintg up most of my time

Well since the car is gone I decided to do a bit on the bonnet, ground down the edges of the bonnet and under the vents so they sealer could bite into something :


Used the usual pop rivets to hold them in place while the sealer set but looking good so far :


The underneath just needs the lines tidied up a bit so they are even but all in all I'm happy enough...


Time to make it look original using a sanding disc on the grinder :



First coat used a 50/50 mix of filler and fibreglass, my poor garage, **** the stuff :



Will try get the outer skin finished off tonight and get to work on the underneath sometime this week...

wow, insane project! Can't wait to see more!

Me too Thanks dude

Just read through your whole Tezza thread, and I was speechless. That has to be one of my favorite builds to date!

After seeing what you did to that beast, I'm even more excited to see the direction of this car!

Thanks mate, I miss her, could have gone alot better but wanted a track car more so.

This one won't be as fancy, more function over form, don't ban me yet LoL It'll still be stanced !

And she is gone, Bear collected her today and she is now sitting up in Mr. Stones. Next updates will be alot more exciting, rollcage baby

Got the windscreen out this morning :


Cut the outer skin and lined the vents up again :


Matched the vents to the inner skin, chop, chop :


Sorted :


Boot door off so I can work on it while the car is away :


Will also build the bonnet up while she is being caged, almost ready for transport tomorrow :

Fucking this

Looks like an awesome build!

Thanks fella, I'll give it a lash for the laugh LoL

i fuckin love when people do shit like.

p.s., the mazda community probably hates you for ditchin the wankel.

Yep, they are like why not fit a 13b or 20b ? Ah I don't mind plus in fairness they are pretty sound, just asking the question

Have the bonnet marked up ready for cutting tomorrow...


How it should look...


Said I'd resort to using the Limerick method of removing the spoiler...


Debadged and spoiler off, just getting the last few shitty bits done before she goes away Sunday...

You are one fast working fucker!

Can't wait to see this

Finished removing all the glue with petrol left over from the sound deadening, took off the heat cover under the bonnet, lined up the vent and have it ready for cutting tomorrow

Weird looking bonnet...


Everything outside the masking tape is now waste, will have to fit the vents seperately to avoid the standard dip in the original bonnet...
