Finally get round to getting the car to the workshop today .
I'm aiming to build a replica of the 2007 wrc car (visually anyway)
A couple of pics. on the transporter from my mobile . I'll take some more tomorrow so you can see where I'm starting from.

 

Can't wait to see the finished project.
If it's like any of your previous cars it will look amazing

 

Thanks mate I appreciate that

Can you give some spec's of the car on the picture...

WRC wing's

 

WRC rear bumper...?

 

Yep

 

 

Also a rear window wiper...

Spec C ??

Does it have a Roof vent

tell us a bit more, Mister ABW

 

ok long story this car lol , very long if you have the time , it's a 02 jap spec sti .no roof vent . I put in a safety devices weld in roll cage a couple of years ago . wrc rear bumper thanks to Roger Clarks . rear wing has the scars from the last bodykit .

 

no worries mate

 

shes looking sorry for herself she really wants to look like this...

 

Bit late for that now m8

 

she did look well thou

 

Looking forward to seeing this turn out as well as the other cars mate

 

looking forward to seeing this one.

 

I've fitted the front brakes today (prodrive alcons) and finally got all four wheels on . suspension lowered as much as I dare so now I can see where the bodywork has got to be . Wheels are 18" x 8" with an offset of 12 .
I've cut about 30mm off the rear 1/4 panel round the shape of the arch which lines up the shorter wrc rear bumper and also does away with the dogleg . I've also cut the inner arch away so I've got plenty of clearance for suspension travel I'll weld new plates in once I've widened the back .
Not much at the front today a bit of modification on the headlamp panel to fit the hawkeye headlamp , front wings need to be at least 25mm wider and I'll probably cut the arch bigger to match the rears .pics not brilliant I'm afraid

 

Darren,

I will will following this with keen interest.
I know you will produce a work of art at the end!

 

Looks good already..

 

Couple more pics for today . Cut and widened rear 1/4 and rear door . I've started to plate and weld it but I've broke the welder so no more fun till tomorrow.

 

OMG...

Thants a great idear

Why didn't I think of that...

Keep up the good work, mate

 

is it easier to cut and weld up the skin rather then bond on a rear arch kit?

in retrospect i wish i had cut the full dogleg off mine before i fitted the 22b arches as i had to go back in and hack them off at a later date, spent ages trying to work out why the tyres were still rubbing and all the paint under the arch was untouched

 

No mate it's not , just fancied a different approach to this one

 

Oh indeed-a-rooney..

 

will be lighter in the end as well

 

subscribed!

Because i want a wrc front bumper

cheers marcus

 

i think i'm going to want the whole car off him!

 

Next weeks job m8

 

not too much progress today widened fuel flap and a bit more welding
