take your pick. just make sure you get one with enough workable time to be able to set and align the quarter

there is 2 types.
epoxy based and urethane based. which would u recommend?

hold the phone - let's do that together if possible. Just a couple days ago I was teetering on the edge of seeing about making one myself (have never used the tools to do it... gotta start somewhere right?)

my underbody shield broke off last winter and I have yet to do anything about it. I think some people made their own on FJ Imma go post there. Possible to make it double as a front air splitter?

well, i gotta finish bodywork and engine first..
but i will let you know when i am about to make underbody.

i just wanted to see how quarter panels look..

need to cut gas door hole bit larger.

this is how rear sticks out, wheels are at 25mm offset and still need another 1"(25.4mm) spacer.

suspension replacement coming soon

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 12-31-2011

and i might b able to get fuel pump, engine and other goodies done by end of january.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - PEGASIX - 01-02-2012

epoxy based all the way. get a quick set time. and when you do it have a buddy or 2 help. so you can apply it and put on th quarter and ave a few hold it in place for a few min till it sets up. quicker set time means less chance of it moving on you but also means you have less time to get it up and on lol

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 01-02-2012

but the problem is the weather..
i dont think even quick set time will be that quick..

i was thinking put tapping screw fiberglass panel onto metal strip and fill holes later.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - PEGASIX - 01-02-2012

if you have electricity down there a heat gun will help alot

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 01-02-2012

gotta cut some metal to put lights.

because of that metal,

just sitting there for now

hard to get it done when there is no access to power..but getting there slowly.

You were visited by Electritian Clause!!! Nice. Ether that or the Super wants to see you finish. Now all you need is an air line and you'll be ready to install a bench at the front of you spot.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 01-08-2012
