Hi Shogun , very nice build you have there .

How did you mount the rear wide fenders to the body , especially underneath the side windows , I have seen guys use many strange stuff, like pop rivets and screws ? I am currently busy with my build and have front and rear wide fenders and front and back bumpers as well .

The rear fenders are glued on top of the original fenders with black Sikaflex. When it has cured, I use two stripes of masking tape and place a thin and even amount of silver Sikaflex between the tape pieces. This give very nice and smooth edges between plastic and metal. I do this all around the edges to seal off the fenders against water and dirt.

The Chargespeed fenders are very well made and come very close to the rear quarter windows.

Damn!

Amazing to say the least ! 😮
Well Done!

awesome build... please keep us posted!!!!

Thanks bros 🙂
I'll continue to post reg the progress.
Meanwhile I hope you manage to read and look at the earlier pages. There are some 😀

OOOOOOber!!!!

Nice nice nice!!! we need moar!!! 😀 awesome job! 😀

Tucked the harnesses both sides to avoid shortage and tyre rubbing when the ride height is adjusted fully down. I also temporarily put on the newly painted fenders. Top notch paint job Thanks to Thomas

Ive got the same rear over fenders.. amazing how much they change the look of the car.. make it much fatter and more aggressive.

Are you running 18's? if so ... have you / how did you sort out your clearance issues for steering angle?

Nice build.

Have a look at the earlier posts in this project thread. I have a fully adjustable chassis. Camber plates on coilovers, steering angle spacers SPL/Tein-combo, full Driftworks kit with lower arms and rucas/rods) and a lot more...

Ja i know you have the suspension stuff which gives you more steering lock thats why im asking... but im refferring to bodywork. ie... inner front wheel wells on full steering lock. And the chassis lip at the top of the wheel well. i had to hammer mine flat, but i was wondering because your build is so nice, maybe you had found a neater way to resolve these problems?

i cant see properly in the photo ( to dark ).. but it kinda looks like you guys actually reshaped / cut the body at the top of the wheel well where you ran the new wiring ...

Been a long time since we have seen a awesome build like this 😉
Respect for staying with the CA 😉

When are you estimating finishing the project?

PS: Welcome 😀

O. Now I get it.
Front:
I knocked the sharp vertical section under the damper tower sideways so it is flat. All other sharp edges (ie harness) are also bent up to prevent cuts in the tyres.
The plastic inner fenders have been removed and will be replaced by custom plates to stop road dirt at door area and front light area. I have full suspension travel and steering angle without rubbing.

Rear:
The steel fenders are to be cut and welded. For the moment they are heavily pulled.

Thanks mate 😀
I hope to be at least partly finished with it in June. I am on it but as we all know, there is always something else poping up that take attention away from the build. But, I do my best 🙂

More incoming parts painted by Thomas

Sometimes it is Christmas more than once in a year.

I mounted the newly painted parts and also assembled the two Bosch fuel pumps in their bracket. Then something happened...

I did something more... 😉

But....?

What now...?

Very nice build 😉 , just a question about your engine build, in the first pics it looks like u are using a std. head gasket. If so, what boost do u intend to run?

Oem gasket only to protect the surfaces. I use a Tomei head gasket. 2-3bar

Wow that's a lot of boost for a ca

Nice toy you have there

Lots of horsepower demand lots of air, fuel and good spark in a well built ca 😉
