MMMMMMMMMMM Sports Coupe

More progress , thanks for the comments .




Im about to pull the 5lt back out and clearance it to the firewall then Ill be looking head on into some nice grille aperture mods that are all sorted in my imagination ,just not on metal

THANK YOU RATBOX doors like that shouldnt be free.... We are lucky to have you as part of our community , especially when you give me stuff for free

very cool

please just dont do the same as others and put a hole in the bonnet with a bug catcher and muscle car rims

go custom - whitewalls, bullets and metalflake

that's kool glad i could contribute in my own small way (desides inspiring you in the first place ) besides i got them for nothing

I like your guard mods. We were planning a similar mod on my fb at one stage. Looking good

I like this little sharing stuff with fellow members thingy , I guess thats what they do in real clubs
When I finish this one I might just share when its needed .

Heres pics of the guards in construction...






I couldnt be happier with how they turned out . and I can run atleast an inch lower than previousely comfortable.

Very cool Harko, but you'll miss the sound of tyres scraping on full lock

Nice work with the gaurds i have always wondered if anybody has done it and there you go

geeeeez harko,

your definately an IDEAS PERSON.... thats awesome.

what was your reason for doing it, was is for tyre scraping or visuals or something else....

great work
matty martin

Hey Harko,

The car is looking fantastic. But i think you have done that wheel / hub cap combo to death. Ha Ha Ha

Seriously, i can't wait to see it finished.

Paul

haha there "is" no other wheels , Chromies with the centre gold to match the roof but the moons and rim stating chrome should give it the look I love but a little different from the norm ("smiling" unless smooth has seen it haha)
Thanks Lynchpin

Matty , get down and eyeball the front wheel arches on an EK FB ,you will notice the wheel isnt set in the centre so I centred it better ,gained the clearance to run it real low hopefully without guard scrape (that will be missed ) and it also takes away some of the visual flab of an EK guard without making your eye look straight at it like a sore thumb

Ive gottta stop showing everything Ive done so I can save something for the finished product , Id rather have 20 of you blokes at the next cruise trying to find whats missing or changed.

By the way just a short note to say Im loving this site right now with all the buzz and activity ,especially with customs and its helping to motivate me loads

Does anyone want rust free inner rear door frames for repair sections ? pick up here bars open at 4

Great work Harko, these posts help take some of the mystery out of customising that puts a lot of people off.

Cool job on the guards, But! It will have to be lower than normal now to get the look, to fill up the guard space or are you going to run bigger wheels on the front.

John

Yep it will be running a taller profile on the front with the white walls and will be down and dirty .

When I was setting up my old wagon I put in the dropped stub axles and 2 inch lower coils but couldnt steer it
The coils are still here under the bench and the crossmember has dropped stubs

Also I think chopped cars need to be lower than usual to take up the new proportions ,My ute looked crap at the bump stops .

Im in the shed right now tacking up the doors , but need another pair of hands ..............

U weld Ill grind thats the deal Lets get this thing on the road im on my way grinderman is coming ( FB bad)
