[kv__]

you have a mad plan.

[Kruizer]

holy shit!

cant wait for more

Cheers...

I love this build so much, the car is looking so good!! I will try to take some pics this weekend and show you what I'm working with, I only worry that 3M might not be strong enough... I'd **** to lose the wing on the highway haha.

That would suck balls alright...

cant wait to see the final result, especially in the rear quater panels. The front fenderslook already badass. Not sure about the rears yet.

Monster project. Im in.

Needs proper pic's mate but it will work right

holy fuck, how have i not seen this build yet?!?! this thing is fucking epic!

Thanking you...

Ow shieeeeeet.

Hurry up!

Sponsor me so, building this paycheck to paycheck

Stunning. Keep up the great work.

Thanks mate...

Holy shit, those wheels and fenders
Sub'd!

Fat is the word your looking for LoL

Wow words cannot describe how much win there is in this build! Keep going there sir!

you have a mad plan.

And only I know it ha...

We had some sun yesterday so John pushed her outside, still can't see what the rear arches really look like, need to get up and get some proper shots but I think she will look sick given that she is now 6ft 7" wide, wheel to wheel Big Booty Bitches ftw

13.5" rears is all i needed to sub to this, but everything else is just as awesome! keep it up dude

Welcome...

Why is this the first time I've seen this?!

I was up in Gripfab today to see what I could get done, unfortunately not alot, this is the slow part...

The inner skin got plated up :


So got to rolling the arch :


Arch is starting to take shape now :


Still needs a flare to be honest :


So got filling the wing :



Gonna be wide :


Then lined up the seat for mounting, first time I've sat in the car in almost a year, really wanna drive her now :

Holy shit. nzt must exist. you blaze through work my friend

Holy shit. nzt must exist. you blaze through work my friend

Its been a year+ in the making...

Plan was to have the car back last Friday however after letting my imagination run away with itself I decided to get a few more bits done while it was up in Gripfab, going with a twin exit exhaust system now, having both subframes blasted and painted up and the rear upper arms modified.

So on full lock the wheel was catching the seam on the floor well, solution was cut it away and weld it up



The all important numbers at the rear :


Decided since I was up to add a small bit more of a roll / flare even though these wheels wont be used on the track.



However this is what we spent our day doing :


Ripped off the boot door, rear bench and plastic's and took it down to the dirt track, as you do.

Time to get stuck in again now.

Any updates? This is my favorite build on S/W

Just now and thanks

So while th car was in Gripfab the lads stripped off the subframes / arms and had them sent off for media blasting to get shot of the tatty surface :



As you can see they needed it :


Ta dah :


Shot of acid primer and gloss black and there ya go :


So like a kid in a candy shop I saw this pull up last night, sorry about all the pic's but like I said I was excited :p



At least she is making full use of the bed :



Back in the drive



It certainly is a tighter fit this time around, I may have to work in the driveway from now on :


Its hard to tell how far back the engine really is with the V-Mount setup so here is a better idea :



Plan is to finish the 4 arches first, once that is done then I can move on to the bumpers / skirts and the rest of the exterior. The part I am dreading is doing the interior and engine bay

[loekaaz]
