My winter progress

That is some serious custom work. Great effort!

Today i put the rear fenders back on…sorry i urathaned them and am molding them…i had them riveted for a few days when i first got them and everyone including myself agree’d it did not look finished.

I built a little housing inside the fender for the billet gas lid before i could fill it from the outer side with short strand and press the billet lip into the wet mixture until it got firm before popping the lid out and finishing up with some 40 grit for now. The edges and fitment came out perfect!

Parts are just stacking up and its a messss inside…cant wait to get on the interior after paint, everything from under carpet padding to the dash and door panels will be new and modified in some fiberglass way before its wrapped in leather :slight_smile:

There was a poorly repaired crack in the bumper so i grinded it down to nothing and re-glassed it. not nearly finished yet

I took out the high spots in the fiberglass before applying short strand bondo/glass.

this is somthing like my 5th or 6th time filling in the low spots.

Easyest way to find your low spots is paint the panel lightly black

Do your criss cross sanding with a block thats sized correctly for how ever big the panel is.

and that will reveal where your low spots are

When is she done? Really interested in seeing the finished product.

Estimated 2-3 weeks of final prep bodywork, so as long as that goes to plan ill have it on the road driving without an interior in maybe a month or 6 weeks…Interior will go together in a week or two, thats the fun part :slight_smile: Im not posting any more pics until shes done…but i will post up the pics between now then the finished project when shes done

congrats on you devotion to sanding and bondoing,
body molding like this takes much patience and commitment which your displaying, nice job buddy

im doing my hatch and its a pain in the ass. youre doing your whole car pretty much…jesus.

Im a week into final prep now…Ive got the hood, one full fender and the top portion of one side of the bumper and light 80% done for primer, the rest i have not even touched :frowning: Its taking a lot of time consuming glassing and body work to make it look sharp as if it came like that.

Ive got plans for the GP 3 piece lower spoiler(on the back of the hatch) as well as the upper one(top of the hatch glass) that ill make myself and wrap in ostridge leather just like the roof im doing for the 240, similar to my cadi’s vinal roof.

devin she is looking good

cot damn.
look at all the pretty shades of bondo…
their evidence of the patience & hardwork put into this one

While this car is far from my style.
I give you mucho respecto for all your blood, sweat, and tears.
It’s coming alone very nicely I might add.

so devin, youre justins cousin?

Yeaa cousins from time ago!..like earliest days i can recall in my life. I’m sure ill be passing threw Barrie a few times this summer. If Justin gives me his number ill let him know when im in town.

hey dev,
i saw a guy in hatch yesterday,
white unpainted kit. and his front end was molded just like yours.
you have a twin

Its like some one makes they’re own style…and everyones reppin it the next second. Ive still done some other clean slick body mods that i have not posted so atleast ill have the one and only of its kind for a year at least :smiley:

So if theres a wannabe twin out there im going to have to buy your car and just park it on my lawn where it will stay.
