My Attempt at a metal wide body build

russmw said:
Totally admire your determination and “give it a go” attitude especially after giving body work/painting a try and failed horrendously (bringing dead paint back to life, electric, mechanics and interior stuff I’m good with but not bodywork).

Looking forward to seeing more updates

Thanks stay tuned it will be a good 12months work
 
lots of hammer and dolly work to get the wings straight and even got the first one primmed -what do you think of the shape? only 25mm wider each side but I think it looks more aggressive - so far so good

Amazing work - maybe you should fit some turbo fans on the wheels - would look proper cool with the wider arches too....
 
I'm using early offset Fuchs alloys 17" same size as standard car but the early offset pushes them out extra 23mm or so
 
Problem with the rubberised undercoating when it’s on an edge water gets behind and it corrodes.
I stripped it all back gave it a good coat to hydrate80 then epoxy coated - all underbody areas I could reach IMG_1659.jpegIMG_1662.jpeg

Your tray that the ABS module sits on is in much better condition than mine, another job for me when I get the engine running.

Are you going to bond the wings back on to the A pillar or just bolt them up? Currently on mine they are just bolted on but I'm considering bonding them again because I'm worried about moisture getting trapped between the two.

not sure about those wheels I think I’ll stay with me Fuch’s - but I do like the rear spoiler

that ABS bracket was quite rusted but I painted it 4 years ago when I refurbished the ABS pump

wings will be bonded back on - it only took a few minutes to get them off once the bolts were out.
