DIY Wide Body...(warning lots of photos..)

[JayRome]

another project of mine i would like to share with everyone, as well as engine mods etc i also do body work (i'll do anything i dont have to pay for ) so here goes...

again any question feel free to ask.....

i hate fiberglass with a passion, so if your a metal working lover this is for you...

its not as hard as people think, and the stance is amazing when finished..

once again warning: i wont be held responsible if you f*#k your s*#t up

Looks like it COULD work out okay.

If you do ruin it, I'll take it!

looks good but why did you leave the original rear quarter panel on the car and just ad one on top? Seems to me it adds a lot of weight.

strength and legalities over here in Aus.... if you move or take off any part of the body thats not bolted on, you need an engineers cert. but if the original is still in the same place... its a loop hole... the panels arn't that heavy...

the body work can now take 265 wide tyres all round..

testing a friend wheels on my car 17X9.5 at +18... (dont mind the stupid stretched tyres, his a drifter) and the wheels are still in my guards...

[SmalltownDSMer]

[XiKeiyaZI]

Nice job, just really not my taste.

 

[smcasey1]

[Carter_95RS]

Looks good, i wouldn't have the balls to do it. But it looks good none the less.

 

[greathuskie]

great job man, people around here dont quite understand how difficult and complex body work can be.

 

[me4g63t]

Damn that is a sick diy wide body awesome job

 

[dasithkg]

st0p sh0wing off jay! Lol!

 

[Koozer]

you did all that in 30 mins?!

but seriously thats pretty sick man; for a DIY... i like the evo next to it too

 

[rizzzo29]

That looks pretty sick. Only thing is if you extended the gas door to make it flush it would look outstanding, Btw that is my favorite Mitsubishi of all time, i would import one in a heart beat over ANYTHING.

 

[zeekster777]

you are very good at what you do nice work.

 

[TOPS GS-T]

great job man, people around here dont quite understand how difficult and complex body work can be.

I agree with greathuskie doing body work is no easy business.
