1985 Subaru GL - BMW E30 conversion

[Xtra Big Kahuna]

I believe they were using cotton balls or something like that to give it the smoking tire effect?

It was cotton. It was pretty cool in person.

This is some silly shit. Please never stop

Why didn't you get the front of an E30 hood to make it easier on yourself? (And look perfectly even). Or at least keep the very edges of the Subaru hood so that it matched the fenders? Unless you plan on doing fender work that I missed or something like that. Keep it up though!

Hey man, yes the fenders are being worked on right now. This is the riskiest part of it all because we decided against extending the side grilles of installing turn signals so we need to essentially change the shape of the fenders and really wrap the sides in to look natural. Don't worry, my friend Gary is really good at what he does, no matter what it'll look good. I have faith. I'll post an update on the fenders later

[Evilist]

starting to look really good

Love this build. Keep it up.

The video?

Really liked. Skillz.

[Stupid Kid]

Well you know what my vote is about the grille. It will be so much easier to extend and cut a few peices of plastic than do metal work to fit the turns. Just hid the turns behind the slats of the grille: see willis's e28. You can always make the added sections removable to put turns in later if you change yr mind

Fender Work update..

Alright it looks pretty rough but it should look good when it's completed.
