Bloody hell Jarome can you rotate your pic's before uploading them, my neck hurts.

Good to see some progress

[Dean]

[SIVART]

That's news to me, and alot of rally cars around the place. I do know that you have to have a collar around the filler hole to collect any spilt fuel when refueling and this has to drain back into into the tank.

Sorry bout the photos guys, was to keen to get them up...my neck still hurts

Thanks for the tip rob might have to do a lil more investigation, anyone else no anything about the legality of welding up the petrol cap, putting an inlet in the boot???
It would look good for sure

[jerome266]

Ok guys, getting there...
Car is now primed, almost ready for paint:thumbsup:
Started work on the bonnet and fitting the evo 6 vent i got
trying to work out how to incorporate the lines of the vent with the vr4 bonnet...not sure how gonna go about this but will think of something, try and make it look like it should be there as much as possible

Guards are done now, primed. Whole body needs to be block sanded and the another coat of primer applied ready for paint...still havnt decided on the colour, but have narrowed it down somewhat
Bonnet still has to completed...Got new custom manifold, with external flange so have to sort that out also...list never ends...so much for just wanting something cheap and economical Although my 3cylindr swift is going great guns, good be the best buy of my meagre existence haha

[jerome266]

Getting closer to paint...HAve also taken the little lights off the guards...and am looking at doing something with the boot garnish, maybe painting it the same colour as the car, not sure yet...any opinions. Have seen it done once before looks nice i think???

Why not put ur fuel cap behind ur rear number plate?.
then u can fill up on either side at the fuel station.
Nice work with the bumper and the roof thats some really tiddy pannel work u have dont probley taking some weight from the car taking some of the jap body filler out of the pannels

[JayRome]

wow that bonnet looks familiar.... heres a sneak peak of what it would look like in primer...

[jerome266]

Yea was gonna ask u about urs jay rome...
What did u do with the lines in the bonnet or didnt it have any ? Thanks for the pic, looks nice.

By the way my brother is doing all the panel work, i cant take credit for any of it...hes the man HAHA:D

took the lines off completely.... just tried to make it blend in, cause the lines of the E6 dont line up anywhere with the VR4...

you should just be able to see it here.... your brother should be able to blend it in more then i could (well as far as i CBF lol)... use sheet metal and weld it onto the bonnet, to make new lines for the vents to follow.... will make more sense with the body lines as well...

[jerome266]

Car loooks nice with the evo 6 vent...gives me a better idea of what itll lokk like, also like what youve done to the headlights and that grille looks sweet too, is it a zr4 grille?

thanks bro, yer ZR4 grill, lucky enough it came with the car...

[jerome266]

Alright my brother finally had some time to get some more work done

Shaved the boot lock and welded up the holes for the spoiler.

Moulded the evo 6 vent into the bonnet and modified the inner frame to suit.

Also shaved the chrome strip out of the body moulds
to tie in with the evo 3 bar that obviously doesnt have it.
Little things to help it look like it could have come that way from the factory.

Still a ways to go but hey after 5 months why not wait a lil longer haha i miss it so much

nice job dude. did you use plastic filler for the strip? how is Carl anyways!!?? are you in banksia beach??

Edited by CLuTZ, 23 November 2009 - 11:21 AM.

[jerome266]

Where in Ningi dre, Carls good.

He filled the body lines with fibre glass, he says the plastic filler peels up and ya end up having to fill over it to make it smooth anyway.

I figures hes the professional i guess he done it before so ill leave all that in his capable hands...i really am lucky hes a bloody perfectionist, just perfection takes a hell of alot of time

[Dean]

Looking very good mate!
