Body work and sheet metal wing in progress. First time really using body filler....less is more hahah. Endless sanding but it's going well thanks to good friends telling me what I'm doing wrong haha.
First up was fenders. I bought some +25mm fiberglass fenders locally and they fit terribly as well as weren't wide enough for my application. Ended up going back to the metal fenders, banging them out as far as I could and then applying body filler to smooth it out.
Kit repair is easier than I thought but time consuming.
1. Apply fiberglass cloth and resin.
2. Fill large cracks and repairs with fiberglass reinforced filler.
3. Fill small pin holes and smooth any inconsistencies with regular body filler.
4. Rough patches can be smoothed with 80 grit
5. Smooth whole bumper with 180 so the primer has something to bite into
Fooled around with cardboard tubs haha. After I relocate my engine harness I plan on doing tubs. These 18s are huge and I like the way tubs look. Probably won't happen until much later this year.
Sheet metal wing went well. I like the idea of adding my own personal touch to the looks of the car so wanted at least one part that I made myself. Was super easy to do and came out nice looking. Better pictures soon.
I might close off the sections you can see the stock wing but for now I'm happy with it.
