Fourth Time's the Charm - Another Air Hatch

[Dremetos]

Likely. I'm piloting an e30 to Fieldwerks this weekend and starting on the rear fenders.

[Dremetos]

idk if any of you brahs actually give two shits about this build, but add me on snatchchat @ tom2low for constant updates, I post there more than IG or on here.

Welp, found MANY of rust, as well as previous patches in my rear qps done by body shops. Got everything ground down to bare metal to prepare wide body. Buddy chopped up a front fender into a perfect raised arch for the rear, just need to get another front fender to do it to the other side. Coming along quite nicely, just more patching is required than I had hoped for due to rot.

Also scored a set (4) of Federal 165/45's for a steal on craigslist today right after the enkeis sold! so pumped.







Once my camber arms are in we can get the camber where it needs to be, tack the over fenders on, get it set up GUCCI and then cut excess away and tidy up the "install" of the new fenders. Then it will be hot.

I followed you on snappy doe. I'm eemwah or some shi like that. Open that hoe up and make that civic wide brahaha

My old 88 Hatch had a quarter panel like that, Discovered it when my little brother accidentally drove into the back of it.
Can't wait to see more progress on the widebody, I am glad you are not just throwing on plastic flares and calling it good.

[Dremetos]

We got the flares all made up and cut 90% to shape (can't do the rear bumper body line yet until we're 110% on placement), and I got the passengers side all ground down. Wasn't as rusty as the drivers side, but there's plenty of rot and a ghetto patch like the drivers side lol. Here are some of the drivers side because it's much easier to grab pictures of.







Going to need some camber to pull this off. I'm radiusing the fenders themselves so I can split tire stretch with the chassis, and still put the rear on the ground. Only trade off is I need to drive with the rears at a lower PSI to not look like a wheel gapper when cruising around. This just means the rear will ride a little worse. Oh well.

[Dremetos]

Been swamped (still am) with college work, sucks to just look at the car in the garage knowing there's zero time to do anything to it at all. Regardless, over the past few days I fought a couple broken bolts associated with my rear camber links and got the new ones in. New bag is in as well. So all that's being waited on at the moment is the return of my spindles and the rear fender work, which may be started this weekend depending on class workload..

Pics of after the camber link install. This is them maxed out. Not a staggering difference, but once the wheel can actually recess into the fender well it'll help out. My tire situation is also taken care of fully and ready to go. 165/45's in the front is going to be awesome, I'm pumped.

In 4 aired out pix

Someone on Snapchat told me to update the thread so I gotta.

Did a TON of work to the rear fenders, dialed in the camber... decided against my better judgement to get my spindles back and just bolt them on Front is SO CLOSE to the front it's sickening, but I NEED TO GO TO STAGGERED 2015... Already pre-registered, better see you morons there. To the guy who said I couldn't get frame on the ground, the rear is there, and the front will be as soon as Staggered has gone by.

I'll just let the pictures do the talking, its been a long couple days with school and rushing this thing; ignore how fucking filthy it is, no time to wash it, pictures were taken with the paint still literally wet, needed to get pre-reg pictures in as it was the last possible day yesterday.

I like the rear flair, good job. Are you thinking of doing something similar with the front?
Really cool to see it layed out. Looks good

[Dremetos]

The poke is pretty even when aired out, the front will likely remain until I get the drop spindles in, then I can gauge the natural camber from lowering it more etc. That's the main hang up, getting those spindles done.

Car had its first day of school today. As soon as I pulled out of my parking spot the campus PD gave me the full escort off campus, looking with wondering eyes. I drive it as low as my first hatch was was static.
