I've posted some of this already in an introduction post but thought I'd start an actual project post.
It started out as a daily runaround 2005 wagon but unfortunately


Managed to source a full car being broke and bought the front end, I'd already been looking at saloon front ends before the accident so the accident was a good excuse to do it sooner. Managed to get it back on the road and all for less than my excess )

 

Then the fun part started, I also decided to have a go at the saloon rear quarter and bought them off the same doner car, they had a few knocks etc but knew they'd need plenty of work anyway so didn't matter.

 

Massive job this, hope all goes well.

 

Then the cutting started


Then the lining up, luckily saloon rear quarters are roughly 1" longer than the wagons so plenty to mess about with.

 

Once I was happy with the location of it all, I had to widen the inner arches. The way this was done was with a number of slots the hammering the inner wings out to meet the new outer arch, I then folder the arch lip up to have the same affect as an arch roll.



Then fully welded all the edges

 

Filler time =)

 

Any finally this was today's mission, wide track arches and bumper mod. Still have to shorten the lower section of the bumper.

 

 

like it mate, something different to the norm

 

That's some great skills. Looks good too, and a little different.

 

Jesus!! what a roller coaster of a thread, I like it! top work there.

 

such a shame they didn't make wagons like this from stock

looking great

 

Just looking forward to the fresh paint and getting it back on the road, miss driving it!

 

Pretty cool Project

 

Fair play!

 

It's got some paint on it =)

 

Like! ALOT

 

Need some more pics

What colour is it?? Looks like Audi nardo grey!!!

 

Won't be any more pics I'm afraid until after the weekend�� Except this one



It's porche grey/black, very similar to the lambo grey.

 

 

nice!!!!

 

Very cool, colour spot on

Look the bo!!ocks with the red calipers and a decent set of gloss black alloys on it.

 

Still not 100% finished but just a few trims

 

Saw this on FB. Tasty and I do like the colour. Are you running spacers, as the wheels do fill the arches very nicely? Top work.

 

That is fantastic. Genuinely brilliant. The colour is great.I'm deeply jealous.

 

No spacers, 18x9" et35








So happy to have it back, you forget how nice they are to drive.

 

Rota Force wheels?

 

Rota G-force, definitely wouldn't get away with them on a standard wagon without some massive camber.

 

stunning Peskett, well worth the effort!

 

This is great. Really nice job.
