Custom widebody and back bumper project.

[1toyotafolife]

Its a 87 manual 7mge. Im waiting for the new year and extra cash so I decided to widen up the rear a lil and put a custom back bumper. I need a 89+ bumper for the front no supra junk yards here or any body to give one. Heres a lil progress so far.

I want it to look something like this except for the front!

The back bumper is from an 97 civic.
Just an early project that went to shit its a 97 civic r34 bumper

have fun, the only thing i dont like about the rear is that it has 2 openings for exhaust pipes. besides that nice project

 

[1toyotafolife]

Oh yea its going to be filled. I never liked duals.

 

[Justin727]

Not my cup of tea to say that least. But i can appreciate anything done with good taste, and done well.

Hopefully you take your time and it comes out well! Dont take any shortcuts!

Cool for going custom but I am not feeling the bumper. Maybe it will look better when it is all painted.

The rear bumper looks like it is too long height wise, chop a couple inches off it imo.

 

[supraguy@aol]

Agreed. A bit shorter and it'll be great.
Why do you put down the duct tape first, does that allow you to remove the flare? Does FG not stick to duct tape??

 

[charlesshen]

ya just a little shorter then it should look right

 

[1toyotafolife]

yea duct tape allowes you to pull the fiberglass off for the mold.

Is that styrafoam covered in Body filler???? :ugh:

Is that styrafoam covered in Body filler???? :ugh:

If it is, then it's probably just the male piece to make the female mold off of, at least I hope so. That's how I've seen stuff like this be done before. Fit things with styrafoam or whatever, cover it with bondo and get it to take the right shape. Then make female fiberglass mold. Then use mold to make male piece that will go on car.

What kind of front bumper is that? Or is it custom? I really like it...reminds me of the "aero" MK3 from a long time ago.

 

[1toyotafolife]

Yea I know you guys told me but I just had to bump my head. Pulled out of the drive way major scrapage. Rasing bumper tonight.
