Sorry I ever started, should have slapped on a set of wheels and coilovers LoL

I would love to go rotary but its just not a reality living in Ireland.

I learned by getting stuck in, its just a chase of seeing what works and what doesn't, the less filler the better, stick to fibreglass as much as possible, less cracking and reinforce where possible like when you join plastic to fibreglass and so on, use the best bonding agents available like my trunk frankenstein yokie LoL There are always tutorials on youtube too if you feel a bit out of your depth, I can't even get a perfect finish so i do the best I can and let the bodyshop finish it off... Key is not to get disheartened

Seems to be a trend



Am, not right now, I want to get my car painted first

Maybe...



I added up the wheels and tires for the two RX's and it came to just over €10k or $14k, I think I have a problem

And thats why it has been so slow

Phat ***, BOOM !

 

Such white, much wow

 

damn!! I can't wait to see how the front turned out!!!

 

Oh. My. God.

 

Hnghhhhhhhhh my heart hurts lol. Amazing build OP!

 

Inside and bay is white, outside is just primer

Me too but I've to build it first, front bumper still isn't done, I get lazy sometimes

You approve then dude ?

LoL sorry about that !

Berfore and after pic ?

 

I get the chills when I look at these pictures.
What're your wheels specs again?

 

Been following this for a while, epic build so far.

Not to rain on anyones parade, but what happens when you drift into a wall

 

duck tape and zip ties, adds character

 

Thats my point

Those are attributes of a drift car, not a one off hundreds of hours and tons of money wide body moldings.

If I had this much custom fabrication into my body it wouldn't even leave my driveway, let alone try drifting in it.

 

Those that cant do it, teach. Same with drivers.

 

Here you go dude, these are the small ones of the sets
18 x 11J +10
18 x 13.5J -10

I cry like a child in an adult nappy, that mental picture will haunt me !

Always a silver lining to every cloud

If I break it, I'll just have to make it better next time around

I'm lost, should I be insulted ?

And she is home, now to build the bumper and have it primed by Tuesday night, not happy, don't like deadlines...


Phatty :

 

No man, youre doing well, very well.

 

cool build man, hope to see it finished

 

Look so sexy in just just primer!!!

 

and I thought my new set was aggressive

 

Dude your **** is wicked im currently on 18x10.5 -12 vsxx and getting my front fenders done by a bodyshop and my rears I order panspeed flares but your **** is sick wish mine looked just like yours

 

Pics?
My new setup is 18x10.5 0 and 18x12 -16. I'm stock body though.

 

im currently on the stock body aswell but **** sticks out haha since I had to use 3mm spacers because of the BBK...Im still deciding to either use the panspeed flares or have the body shop doing my front fenders to make me rear flares

 

wow that is meaty! Definately needs something lol. What kind of motor is/will be in there?

 

Yea i didnt want to strech it out much since i do a little bit of amature drifting so im running 45/145 in the rear 45/135 in the front....im getting parts at the moment for a rew swap, I have the renny with bolt ons and removed all the emmission

 

Me too

Thanks dude...

They are

Be boring if we were all the same Any build thread on yours ?

Very nice dude !

The RX7 wheel specs are :

18 x 11JJ -22
18 x 15JJ -7

Blow it out

Very nice !

Yours will be an interesting build

So I decided to make a start on the front bumper, as per usual I had to make room, got my priorities right though, saved the axle stand for the king size Toblerone


I did however use them for the front :


I had some temporary brackets already pop riveted on to give an idea of the task ahead :


However the heights just were not right so I had to cut and space it at the side, again I got out the green oasis foam for some general shaping and starting to get a top coat of fibreglass on the front to hold the shape, the reinforcement will happen at the back but if you look at the bottom of the bumper the line now looks level and proper... Still have to roll my front wings, its never ends...

 

Sure is coming together nicely mate..

 

Have always hated that bumper, but it's going to look sooo good on your car lol.

 

Bro I wish I could do body work like you lol my **** dont come out as nice h ahahahah...that toblerone doe
