Ta very much

 

Updated photoshop, and yes my photoshop skills are NOT great lol give a bit more idea as to what i mean

 

the wheels will look much bigger if ur putting on the 16". they will fill the arches, unlike the little 14" in the pic
will look wiked! get working so we can see some actual photos!

 

there are 15 inch lol as that the smallest you get on a turbo impreza lol its running the impreza running gear dont forget

 

this kit could be going out the window as there is no moulds for it, it is the only kit in the world lol so great if i damage it so could be back to square 1

 

How many do you think you could sell? Wouldn't be hard to get a mould made from it. Just need to make it cost effective.

 

COME ON WHERE IS OUR UPDATE ???????????????

 

give me a chance i been away all weekend lol

 

Theres no time to be going away u have a serious project to get finished

I cant wait to see the finished result

 

any progress ?

 

Awesome project mate - respect

I'm with blu scoob, you need to keep the round arch look and keep it as faithful to the original as possible

 

Watching with interest....keep up the great work.

 

See Alex, two of us can't possibly be wrong

Thats me out for both club and pro vehicles then lol track days it is, bit of a bugger MSA taking everything over its stopping us budget builders getting into these sports

as for Blue-Scoob, Devildog and Brun that is looking every more likey now that it will be round arch so back to original plans then

i got work tomoz so back on the project sunday and poss in evenings also next weekend is a bank hol so will have 3 days

 

looking forward to some more updates.......

 

Hey all another well from 10 am onwards lol tis a sunday after all so for all you pic lovers here you go, few problems with the front which is going to have to be extended by about four inches so yet another snag







heres how i made the above used some poly pipe and trimmed to fit this pipe slides tightly over the roll cage tube the used that as a cut guide then ground down the insde to fit the tube

















then i moved onto the front bracing from rollcage to struts tops







Repeated on other side







and just to show the front and the gap i am left with

 

hmm whats the plan with the gap then?

how does the gap come about is it because of the scoob engine sitting so far forward?

if so you could route the rad to the rear save you an inch or 2.

 

Also what do you guys reakon to these rear arches



or evan these just looking for opinions please


here is the same as above but the full kit on round nose


also opinion on this front clubman bumper



more to follow cheers

 

Excellent its started moving again lol i like the look of the rear arches still looks a lot like a mini rather than that other kit u were lookin at Not to sure on the front bumper i dont hate it, but i dont love it I think you should stick with the clubman one

Keep up the good work

 

allready planned rad in the back front is tight to the pulleys at the moment so looks like it is going to have to be a extended front tbh needs to be about 4 inches so not sure what to do yet thinking caps required

 

Im loving the huge arches in that mini clubman pic above. gotta get those big round arches on yours!
No idea how you can fill that vast gap apart from putting an alli plate in with a scooby bonnet scoop and welding it up and colour matching it. would look very odd tho.

 

wide arch kit looks crap imo. keep it as standard as poss, make it as much a sleeper as poss imo. good progress tho.

 

IMHO

Pic 1 - Looks great - will they cover the wheels OK?

Pic 2 - Looks OK-ish

Maybe you could consider buying one or the other and cut them around to make either pic 1s bigger or pic 2s smaller depending on what the tape measure tells you??? Do you have a good fibreglass contact?

Pic 3 - Mmmmm not convinced ... but there are a lot of headers and stuff to cover. I'm sure google images will give us some clues.

I like the clubman front pictured else where... and that new welder seems to be working well for you Bravo!

Edit: Re your 4 inch challenge... I think it might be worth consulting a fibre glass guy at this stage.. a few multiple cuts around the front end could very well give you the length you need while keeping the proportions looking OK over all.

 

I personally think you need to perservere with the round arch look, I think it'll pay off in the end. Having said that the wide arch kit as shown looks much better than the boxy kit you were looking at.

With regards to your 4" gap at the front and put in laymans terms, I would draw a line from the centre of the top of the front arch up and over the bonnet to the centre of the top of the arch on the other side. Get saw and slice in half . Join back together and place the (new round ) arches to suit the new wheel position, making up any gap left by the original arch opening thus making the whole nose cone an extra 4" longer (hope that makes sense lol)

 

yea good idea blu-scoob.
Alex uv gotta make sure arches fit the wide wheels or else u can get points [i believe].

 

Yeah the white one above i quite like but would be bolted on sprint style as i cant stand bonded and blended bodykits tbh think that is a place blu-scoob i need a crash course in fibre glassing really i am going to try and use the standard scooby scoop shrunk to proportions on the front too which will be funtional in cooling massive top mount intercooolerrr and turb etc need to find a stylish front bumper to cover headers etc for mot purposes

 

i evan thought about chopping the scooby rear bumper down and making it shallower to fit what are your thoughts

 

heres a few more of the white minis body kit







Thoughts Please
