x2k.dk Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 sorry my bad spelling. it went to fast. its just that i have seen many widebody conversions and they usualy crack when only used glue to attach the wide fender., usually at the corners. i use to glue it with 2 component glue . its gets hard and ataches very well. beside that i use glasfiber mats on top with polyester . then it will never move again.

hodge Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Another long night working on the car on Friday night. Im to be honest fairly sick of engine work so its onto the bodywork for a while. Myself and Bossco pushed the car out of the garage for a bit of fresh air and to fit the passanger rear quarter of the TRD kit. Both skirts have been bolded on. The lines are spot on. how wide is she looking now lol. We also got the back bumper on on friday night too but did that in the garage so got no pics of that fitted. It did to be fair take around 4 hours to fit the rear bumper perfectly but was well worth it when it was on. Saturday morning I decided to look at the inner front bumper. ive drilled and tapped the front crash bar M6 so I could fit a bracket to the inner bumper. I did the same to the outside edges of the inner bumper too. Im very happy with the results. Ive removed the front mesh so I can look into how im gona colour the inner bumper and to also sort the intercooler spray braided line throught the bumper to the solnoid. Purge solnoid is now in place. Starting to get a little crowded behind the intercooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
