found My mojo my last build had a trim and cut to remove any likeness to other vehicles and has been parked a while, I seem to have some time on my hands so the garage door is open again and I needed to get out the house . after watching the ford v f film it inspired me to get out the hack saw and cut away Attachment 6677.

complete makeover new front and back design that should give me a one off in the end not that it wasn't perfect to start with. new back end in the making luckily I had some chunky plastic to make a template
Attachment 6684 Attachment 6680 from the first pic of the body cut this this one was a week of filling and sanding Attachment 6681 new boot lid in the making Attachment 6679 take my hat off to chris and dan getting a good finish that is also strong is harder than you think. back end of the car now looks like this still work to do but getting there Attachment 6683 boot hinge has snapped so I now need to work on some hidden hinges I think rather than the old style chrome ones . now that's going to be a pain.:biggrin: |
Nice job building a new back end from scratch. :cool:
Good luck, Paul. :) |

Well I was right about needing to body mods for the new wheels I did not expect it to be a complete make over again. The measurements around the arch were how much I needed to bring it out. guessing front will be the same going from 7.5j to 9j ...can tell I watched blue peter as a kid nice bit of parcel tape used :icon_mrgreen:

This is some build. Looks nothing like the original from moulds car and liking the changes. They are monster wheels and now has a booty to match.
Keep the updates coming Andy :) |

bit more progress both rear arch extensions now made and boneded on I also filled them with fast expanding foam. More filling and sanding tomoz should also get on the front ones not 100% how to do them for looks but I will work it out always think better after a class of blonk
Attachment 6700 Attachment 6702 Attachment 6701 should look puka when I fit the wider wheels looks a bit odd at the mo with a massive arch and smaller wheel. |

whoop whoop what a difference a bit of prommer makes ,almost looks the same as before I started lol.
Bit of a bonus the front wheels will fit with no modifications to the arch with the 8.5j rim Attachment 6703 Attachment 6704 Attachment 6705 |

got me some rubber on my new wheels wheel chuffed with the rear end stance it's going to look wicked painted up
Attachment 6715 Attachment 6716 Attachment 6717 Attachment 6718 few more bits to change on the front running gear so while its off the ground I will lower the front coilover an inch or so to bring the gap down a touch |
I like it a lot!
|
Very cool Andy, got a very nice stance that will work well with the shape.
Definitely a unique mash up of a few inspirations but you are putting it together well.....Awesome |
Awesome! Wish I worked as quick as you my car would have been done a year ago lol
|
Andy – Amazing transformation so far. :cool:
It is clear that all your previous fibreglass projects really help speed up the build. Good luck, Paul. :) |
Looking amazing Andy!
Question about your arch widening process. You put the tape over the existing arch to get almost the shape you wanted, put cloth and resin over that. Then pulled the resin and cloth off, removed the tape and used expanding foam between the original arch and the new grp? What did you do at the edges? How did you fix the new grp to the body? Overlap or used the adhesive power of the foam? Thanks for any advice. I’m new to grp mods! |

wired my lights up and also fitted DRL but I am going to switch them so they can be turned off.
I have also wired up for the spotlights in the grill so ebay here I come again. my bank should be called paypal that all it says on the statement. Attachment 6724 Attachment 6728 with the hinge breaking on the boot lid I made some modifications to MX5 hinges and made some captive bolt plates for the back of the lid . works a treat just need to figure out the latch.
