which bank did you rob frayz as i havnt seen anything on the news

 

😂😂😂😂 I was thinking the same

 

Remember that Covent Garden job the other month?

 

So that's the cage paid for, what about the rest

 

I've not posted for a while on this mammoth project but it has moved a long way frayz and getting more and more intresting just to see the craftsmanship it's like a work of art looking forward to the next updates keep them coming frayz .

 

Wow. You have got to be so damn pleased mate

This is far more bespoke than any RS Porker, its going to shine in any company...can't wait for a go

 

Cheers boys.

Yeah it's a monsterous task and to be honest I do keep looking at old photos of it and wonder WTF have i done?
However I've been in this position before and wondered how on earth I'm ever going to make it good again, and I made it through last time I took it apart.
Dave is incredibly knowledgable and talented, so I know it's going to be mega. He understands my goals and shares my passion for doing the mental stuff.
He inspires me with the build, so I know it's in the right hands, however it will be a whole lot worse before it gets better!

If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. Watch this space as they say.

 

I feel exactly the same mate and still find myself looking at the old mag write ups and think did I do the right thing stripping a car I loved so much ,, if I knew I was going so far with it I would of prob got another shell for Dave to work on and kept mine on the road till build up time but I just went over for a quick cage to start with and ended up going the full works aswell lol I'm sure it will be worth it once there finished

 

You know what i love about this.. You started with a prodrive bug! Gave me inspiration for mine and now look, its being magazine featured.. Thanks for thats Frayz. Hopefully you don't run out of that dirty money and get it finished, dying to see the end result mate. Top notch!

Always a space on our club stand for you buddy ;-)

 

Lol, thanks very much Dan. You've done a great job on yours creating what I think is the timeless Subaru silhouette. WR blue on gold speedlines quite simply will never date. A very deserved feature IMO.
Glad to have possibly inspired you like so many have inspired me.

I hope this next chapter for my car will do it the justice I hope to achieve. I really want to create something special, and with the ideas I have in mind, I've no doubt it can be pulled off with a level of detail and finish.

 

Amazing work!

 

The NSR tub and turret taking shape today.
Here you really start to see how much wider the WRC flares are than the OEM body. You can also see just how much the wheel wells now intrude into the rear door apertures. The arches are absolutely enormous.

Even tacked in it looks pretty damn cool, can't wait to see it smoothed, epoxy coated and painted.

Scary bit first though!!















More coming soon.

 

yikes!!!

 

Last pics for this week. NSR tub almost done.
Great to see the car taking shape. Daves doing an amazing job.

 

Gonna be a stunner when its finished

 

I would have loved to have seen your face when they made the first cut into that lovely black paintwork

 

Lol, I cut people's roofs fitting vents most months of the year.
I really couldn't care less if I'm honest.

I know what it's going to look like when it's done remember.

 

Epic .....

 

Most of the NSR tub is now complete on its basic layout. Looks superb and I'm really pleased with Daves work.

 

remarkable craftsmanship from Dave. Love the last picture you can really see it taking shape and transforming.

 

Yeah that last pic makes me lol. It makes me realise what ive done. Its a full on skeleton now

 

That's going to be one fat mean looking bug once it's finished .

 

More forming of the rear door jam and its return. Here you can see how much of the rear wheel well comes into the door aperture again. Also how much the jam has come out to meet the wider track.
Also more fettling of the rear qtr panel. The rear qtrs aren't far away from going on now.
All of this will then get its final fit and finish along with panel gaps to be set before she goes for paint.











Rear quarters with more finishing.

 

Phat

 

You guys have a fantastic talent this build is amazing keep the pictures coming guys

 

NSR inner and outer tub/turret complete.
She's all ready for the qtr panel to go on this week. These are going to look beautiful once painted.

 

And to be fair to Dave he is just as good with a paint gun as he is with a welder and he is a perfectionist when it comes to paint lol

 

This really is a work of art not many people around with the skills to produce that level of quality by hand.

 

Frayz, what are you doing to your car! Long time no speak hope you are well. Im sure this will look amazing when complete!

I'll be keeping an eye on this from now that's for sure, are you going to have it painted a different colour? Sorry if this has been discussed already but I've not checked this thread for a long time.

 

Wow love the cage that's scaffolding I want one in my car now
