i screwd up by cutting wrong fiberglass quarter panels, i should've removed glass and replace factory quarter panels..
but i came up with this idea and used flange tool around edges and riveted metal strip.
panels will go over metal strips, panels will be bonded and fiberglassed over later.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - car dropped - buzz2.0 - 04-21-2012

yeah that clip doesn't come separate of the pump.....luckily i found one in the shop....your builds back on track Cool

you can really see the difference in those designs...there seems to be 2 pick ups on the new one and it hangs in the tank...where as the failed one has that bracket....hmmm i wonder how that bracket is held on?glue??... Huh

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - car dropped - konafocuswrc - 04-21-2012

the black thing is retaining clip, it just plastic welded. broke that off and whole bracket came off.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - car dropped - buzz2.0 - 04-26-2012

hmm i like the rs with mostly white.....the black back end on the last pics doesnt look right to me....all white rs or nothing i say!!!

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - car dropped - konafocuswrc - 04-26-2012

spoiler will stay black no matter what.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - car dropped - 02_svt_guy - 04-26-2012

Show me dat black ass! leave out the huge RS logo's

My 2 cents/vote

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - car dropped - Scorcher000 - 04-28-2012

I like the castol version design of were the colour changes. The RS I think the logo is too much, maybe just the outline of the RS with no fill.

It's looking good leo keep it up.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - car dropped - SL8RZZX3 - 04-29-2012

I'd suggest keeping it all WHITE!!!
Maybe with some blue pearl (RS royal blue colour)
And then maybe have the WRC and RS "decals" ghost painted on so it gives a subtle WRC flavor, instead of "heat score" look with the bright decals

Just my .02
And I think it would give it more of a show car look, rather than a WRC replica look
