I think it was Fred, who in turn sold them to me and I fitted them to Flo`s Silva drift car..

My bad ! You are talking moulds, I was talking product..soz. :facepalm:

ok ... JP reminded me i sold the Master Molds to Werner in the Eastern Cape.

Any ideas how to get a hold of mr Werner ?

I will, in the new year, be cutting my std. fender on the rear to add about a 50mm "wedge" and pull the fenders outwards. I don`t particularly like glass over fenders . Have widened many an Alfa Romeo rear fender like this, it still looks factory but with a twist.

You still have all your aircon/heater stuff from within the car ? If you have removed all that I would be interested in taking that off your hands.. 😉

I agree with Barry.. Not a fan of the rivited look..

I would agree with you 'IF' he was building a show car .. However you have to remember what the car is being built for - drift - which is a contact sport. Rivetted fenders are far better suited ... easily replaced .. no mess or fuss and they lighter.

Yea in that aspect I agree..

For sure it's not the prettiest look. But for the purpose of the car. A pure track and trailer car to compete in. I know the fenders are gonna be trashed. So I need an alternative. I can't keep on panel beating each time I have a momentary loss of talent.
Slap on new glass fender chuck stickers on it and off to the track! 🙂

" A pure track and ...."

Awesome, that mean you going to join us on open track days !??

Jan 13th is the first for the year hey.. 8)

100% for sure!
I'm aiming to have it all done by 1 feb and on track!

Few small glitches
Getting the car ready for dyno. Got her on the ground did a maiden voyage to the front gate!
Sadly the clutch won't release 100%

So box out. Clutch out, flywheel off and inspect.
The culprit .... Small piece if 2mm welding wire filler rod, jammed between the second clutch plate and the pressure release plate......how did that get in there and where did it come from 😉
As a result the clutch was dragging and not freeing up 100%

Tomorrow I'll get everything back in.

Another glitch. It seems with all the cranking while figuring out the ecu and trigger angle gremlins,
It put a strain on the starter which subsequently gave me the middle finger... Can only get the starter reconed next week .....
Ya. The joys.

So with the down time. I decided to finish the last of the body work. I had no joy in finding fiberglass fenders
SO next best thing .... Do it myself.

The back and front arches needed more clearance due to the drift works suspension being so low.
Finally I'm nearly done witH this. Finish prepping and welding over weekend
Once I have them welded and complete for correct tyre offset and clearance. I'll make make my own molds from fiberglass

Happy days

As u can see the inner skin had clearance issue
Bearing in mind that the rear coil over is currently at its maximum height. From here it can only go lower!!!

I bought set of gold Gti mk2 front fenders for the lip
I'll cut out the top half to use as the filler plate

Filler plate
Will be welded to outer shell and the trimmed flush with body
Flared lip then to be welded onto outer fender

The bastard little fuxxer that caused clutch issue......

After its been cut out
New clearance 50mm

Off the ground obviously

Need to fill in gap between inner skin and outer fender

Like so

I can't see anything coz they blocking photobucket but i am sure it all looks great< good luck with the last preps!!

Give this man a bells!!! :200sx_punk:
dam dam dam man this is a crazy :200sx_taz: build i dont think it could be done any better, awsome job well done. :200sx_200sx:

Seems Santa did leave me something after all
Unexpectedly

I discovered something this morning after searching the LS1 tech forum in the USA For my engine serial numbers

The guy I bought the motor from, sold it to me as a ls1
But after putting in the block number, intake manifold number, injector number, and heads numbers, through the forum and GM manufacture website
It turns out I have a LS6...... Not an Ls1

Ls6 are newer motors,
Better cam, better heads, better intake flow and stronger block
Displacement still however remains the same at 5.7
According to theory all this shoud make for additional 60 hp

Also, ls1 and ls6 components are 100 % interchangeable interesting

So ya bit of a score I'm not complaining!

Here is a quick video of the maiden voyage .... All 10 meters of it until I discovered no clutch

New rear fenders
Clearance is spot on now
I can now lower the rear instead of having the coil overs on their max limit

Looking good man!! Yea joys of these cars. Constant replacing and fixing things
