as promised, a few photos of the bodykit at it's current state
basically, using low density poly(ethylene?) blocks, we shaped these pieces to the car and how we wanted the final product to look. the style we were going for was "group b rally".
after shaping the blocks with saws, sand paper and knives, they were coated with a few skims of epoxy resin, a few of bog, sanded, bogged, re sanded and then painted black.
from these moulds, we will make plugs for a fibreglass body kit, allowing us to punch more fresh ones these out if i should destroy a piece.
so, after almost 2 weeks of solid work, here we are:
at the wheel arches, the "body" is widened by about 75-80mm each side, while the front bar protrudes forward about 100mmm further than stock. all of the front moulds are to be glued together to make the final product all one piece.
fyi - cost for materials, tools, consumables, etc. is about $600 (just if i inspired you, like i hope).
the idea of this kit is to have something i can throw on the car before a hill climb or track day and widen my track suitably. also, for added wtf factor.
side skirts, rear bar and spoilers are yet to be completed.
