Loads of small jobs done today , I'm down to a final snagging list so must be pretty close . There was an issue with the rear wheels fouling on the inner arches , to be expected i suppose as i must have lowered it about 5 inches , anyway I've set the ride hight slightly higher all round now and no problems . Front skirt came from wrc spares as promised so that's been fitted . Just down to geometry set up and a clean now , looks like i'll be doing that myself for now ready for the weekend then a full detail when i get back ( Matt )
Hoping for a pro photoshoot in the very near future with a few of the other cars I've done !

 

finishes the front nicely mate yup can do full detail when you get back no problem. have a contact at banzai. could be worth seeing if we could get a joint feature / advert?

 

Wow amazing project
great stuff!

 

 

Not sure I like it....................much!!!!

Holy cow batman that is stunning. Well done mate. Thats a hell of a talent you have and you must bea saint for patients?

Shame I can't make the Rally Day at CC otherwise I'd love to see this close up.

Give yourself a huge pat on the back mate and when Matt comes over to detail it give him a kiss from me (optional of course).

Steve

 

Loving that bumper !

Your phone will be ringing shortly

 

Very nice made .

 

Theres a lot of hard work and massive amonts of talent gone into that
Awsome effort

 

well done chap looks the dogs well worth the hard work

 

Just read the whole 9 pages with interest...very good, I really like that...a testament to your talent, keep it up

 

Thanks for the comments . I'm back onto this now .
Rear suspension first , I've a set of these on order ,

 

wow, awesome work (i've just read all 9 pages for the first time!).

you must be well chuffed with how thats turned out

 

I think the thing to do now mr ABW is to strip it down and clean up / refurb all the parts underneath. make a ABW advert / real show car of it.

could do with a bonnet painted if you want to do a trade off on the detailing

 

sounds good m8

 

Fantastic effort mate. If you consider that the original WRC car is designed with many thousounds of hrs by CAD jockeys, to replicate that by hand is absolutely stunning.

Hope to see it in a decent mag to record your fine work!

Why can Subaru not sell something like that as a LTD ED rather than the RB320 which is a quick scour of the parts bin with no imagination whatsoever? There would be a que with cheque books round the M25!

Total respect mate.

 

Cheers Buddy , no mags are interested m8
" looks too much like a wrc car "

 

Unbelievaaable! They would rather advertise new hatch Impreza's under the guise of enthusiast's. Subaru's = Rally Cars, not driftin or street racing crap.

Anyway, Scoobynet is the mag for the real enthusiast.

I'm off to the McRae Stages tomorrow for the ultimate entry list of MKII Escorts. Heaven in the woods!

 

I agree , enjoy tomorrow m8

I'm back onto this now . I've made my version of the camera pod . just out of filler at the moment I'm going to get a mold made and start producing some

 

Looks stunning in the flesh

 

Cheers buddy .I'll sort your bits over the weekend

 

It looks like there was a lot of work in those 1/4's and front wings I suppose thats why most people just buy the FRP inserts

 

Tell me about it Steve , I'm taking some moulds off it now to make it easier next time .

 

Should make for a nicer set of rear arches them darren.

 

It must make you feel soo much better knowing you did the car in full metal trim rather than the moulds

 

Yes mate well worth the effort

 

i'll take a camera pod if you do get a mold done.

amazing work, a cracking looking car !!!!!!!

 

They'll be available next week I'll post some pics

 

Excellent work bud, car looks amazing.
