Thanks for the compliment friend..

I finally got the shape sorted on the outer of the rear bumper, just the inside to sort now..

It's gonna take some working out how I'm gonna make a mould of this thing.. more work!!

Any news Nigel?

Absolutely legendary stuff.

Nigelr32 · 11-15-2016, 06:11 AM

Sorry guys it's been a while since I last posted. I've been busy finishing up the bucks ready for mould making. I seem to have developed an allergy to filler dust as well, whereby I get itchy and swollen around the mouth and nose, so had to take a few days off!!
Now, with all that out of the way, it's time to crack on with some more body mods. Here we can see that there's not much left of my rear end��

Once the edges are cleaned up I can get some primer on and start popping some moulds off.

Hope you get well soon. Besides, a few days off never hurt anybody.

Btw, there is not much ass on that, but still looks sexy, especially knowing how it will end up.

Any updates on this?

Amazing build! Subbed and awaiting the rest

Lunatic · 02-02-2017, 05:54 PM

I love your build and love your front splitter. BUT, being a track junkie myself, from time to time I go off track pushing it to hard. With body mounted splitters I have tore my whole front nose off twice. So my last splitter I made from 3/8th's plywood, so it will hopefully just break apart and made frame mounts, so it's not attached anywhere to the body work.

PS, my wife's from Manchester, she wants to ask what part of England are you from?

This is such a nice splitter. If I could buy one this size I would be all over that.

Yes and you can PM me for more details.

Love that you are increasing the wheel well height and radius!

Back on the subaru GC chassis, I always admired the WRC spec wide body kits over the 22b spec due to the wheel arches being higher with a larger overall arch.

Keep up the awesome work! its gonna look great!

Nigelr32 · 02-23-2017, 05:20 PM

Thanks for all the interest guys. You'll be pleased to know the project is back on, full steam ahead. The Weather here in England has been awful. Cold and wet and today we had Storm Doris!!

I've managed to get some work done on the ass end and she's nearly ready for some mould making.

I am going to make moulds of the complete sides, whether I use them or not is another story?? I'll definitely use the rear fenders though.

If I do use the whole side it'll be fun for you guys to see the shell ripped apart.

Watch this space!!

Thanks for your Love man. That splitter looks cool!
I'm not too bothered about knocking the spoiler/ bumper off, it's no lower than stock at the wheelarch edge. I have the mould, so replacement/repair will be easy.

So, you married a Manchester girl?? You better be good to her, if you're not, she'll make sure you know it🤓🤓

I'm from Gloucester, a few miles south!!
