anyway, still gotta finish off rear quarter panels.
removing glass must be pita, i have no access to power outlet, cannot use heatgun.
i might try with tiny torch i used when solder.

cut off rear quarter panels, drill out spot welds, make another big holes for turboshear can go through.

Looking good! just spent an hour going through all the posts... I was full of emotion for ya when i heard the motor blew. Looks and Sounds like you intend to make a real trophy winner. With that being said take your time... Save some money and build a motor. What happens the next time you grenade a stock Zetec.. maybe it takes the Turbo with it Sad

. Build for Big, keep the Boost moderate with the ability to up it safely and make true WRC powwaa!!

just my 2 cent's

i park my car underground, went to take some stuff out of my car and saw this "$ waste" on my dirty window. lol

i got 3 weeks of free time, i will be able to finish off suspension and possibly rear quarter panels.

Looking good.

RE: NoMorEkOnAfocuswrc build thread - konafocuswrc - 12-20-2011

wheel is already at 25 offset but i still need another 15mm front and 30mm rear.

i might be able to mount rear quarter panels this week and probably coilovers and tubular suspension by next week.

RE: NoMorEkOnAfocuswrc build thread - hardk0re - 12-20-2011

looks great...now how about when you stop for gas Tongue

RE: NoMorEkOnAfocuswrc build thread - konafocuswrc - 12-20-2011

thinking of relocating filler neck or make a hole for filler door to keep in simple.

How are you going to weld those quarters on Leo? Very ambitious of you to tackle that in the underground without power. Nice work. Can't wait to see the finished project. Keep up the good work.

RE: NoMorEkOnAfocuswrc build thread - buzz2.0 - 12-20-2011

no welding required, the quater pannel is made of some kind a fiber glass. i was there yesterday butchering, Big Grin

the turbo shear is like a can opener! best tool ever!

anyone got any ideas how much a body shop would charge to replace both?? we got a couple of estimates, one body shop wouldnt even look at it, we were like wtf?? Dodgy

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 12-21-2011

yeah quarter panels are made of fiberglass and it is whole rear quarter panels.
but i didnt want to remove glass and drill out all spot weld to seperate..
so instead, i used 1" painters tape to cut along the edge and did same thing to fiberglass quarer panels.

i will put some plates behind to support fiberglass panels, i m testing using black silicone to see if it is sturdy..if it is too flexible, then i might have to use epoxy or plastic weld.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - Flofocus - 12-21-2011

jesus...doing all of this in a underground parking lot?...wow...dedication man.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 12-21-2011

silicone has been there for 8 hours so far and still not solid.
i am going to let this until tomorrow and if it is still flexible, i am going to use epoxy.

the colder it is the longer it will take...

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - PEGASIX - 12-22-2011

silicone are you serious?? why not duct tape then?

go to your local parts store or body shop and get some tubes of panel adhesive and do it the correct way. the most correct way you can when hacking.

this is the nicest way i can say it. if you dont like it thats a shame. but epoxy or silicone all your going to do is kill someone when the panel flies off down the road.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 12-22-2011

that silicone is panel adhesive

you don't even know what i used and saw it in person, assumed this and that and saying you are like a god or something becuase you are experienced with body work?

if i dont like it thats shame??no if you dont like it, stay away from this post, i dont like your attitude when posting for first time
