Some jackass decided i was good target practice last night. I figured because im starting from scrap I'd go for gold. Any advice on what i should do as far as the car goes? I really like the wing on the deck lid. could you help me out with learning how you did it? Motors i understand.. Paint primer and gaps not so much.
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

And thats why it has been so slow

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

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.

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

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...
