Soon it will be ready...patience

I was wondering what was up with all those hoses not connected lol. But congrats!!!!

[Crashaddict]

coolant reservoir is in, i drove the car to the guy who is doing the fender work. (2 blocks) which put a nice gash in the brand new tire tread....it should be fine. Noooooooo power whatsoever, which is to be expected. the welder comes monday to button up the intercooler piping. After that, the gauges go in, and it goes to paint.....the end is near my friends

Told my fender guy if they aren't done by tomorrow, he is fired. Been over a month

That sucks.

[Crashaddict]

They are done now. Car won't start again tho. Attatched is proof that these wheels can be fitted without rubbing....if you want to spend twice as much as the wheels for custom fenders lol

[Crashaddict]

For the fenders I asked Shane to model them after the e46 M3. A asked him to make the fronts fit and the rear more agressive which he did well. For the front he pretty much just pulled the fender lip out and filled it, for the rears he completely sculpted new fenders using a sheetmetal skeleton(mesh kept breaking) with a fiberglass skin. I have a feeling that when the car is painted, people will have difficulty telling that the flares aren't stock considering how nicely they transition to the bumper and sideskirt.

Total cost: $800

Welder should come tomorrow.

[Crashaddict]

Welder being unreliable yet again....here's a better angle of those fenders

[DataTraveler]

Any chance you got a higher res on that angle? Looks like it's flared about the perfect amount to not look obvious or silly.

Not at the moment, no, just cellphone pics for now (its on a lift in the shop)but that's what I was going for, nothing rediculous, just enough to accommodate the style 67s with a 265 tire that I so stubbornly must have without rubbing

And thanks, ill get some better pictures soon
