New Guy - DeSloths Aussie MA70 Project (56k Warning)

[kotu100]

nice work on doing all the stuff yourself. however on the rear addons, i fear the body filler will not be enough, usually more than 1/8" of body filler and it will crack. did you use any fiberglass or just bondo?
looks great though!!!!!

Wow, awesome work, I hope to be as good as you are in quality of work on my mk3.

I realise it is possible they will crack, but the body filler is less than 1mm thick in all areas (well under 1/8"). I don't know exactly what bondo is, but I used a combination of glue, screws, fibreglass and polyester body filler.

If it is going to crack it will likely happen during installation. I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks, but if that is your car in your sig, you're already a loooong way ahead :icon_bigg

I just took some more pictures. I got two runs on the front bar, but I am happy overall. I am sloooooowly ironing out the bugs.

Let me know what you think.

Nice work man.

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Very much so nice work! Keep it up Roo Jr. (Ian is Kangaroo SR.) LOL! ;-)

 

[DeSloth]

Thanks chaps.

This week I decided to put something back togethor for a change.

The car is filthy and everything is covered in sanding dust - but on a positive note I hadn't lost ALL the screws and fastners from the rear bumper, just most of them.

It's not perfect, but that is to be expected. I might wetsand, mabye. We'll see

Constructive feedback welcome

Man I love the moldings:love::love::love: I'm probably going to have to do the same

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

yeup... GREAT idea.... my 89 moldings just got to the age where the rubber's coming off anyhow

 

[DeSloth]

Just a quick update - the car is all back togethor

I have been driving it around a little, and it is a terrific feeling.

Sorry for the pic quality, but I didn't take this one.

 

[jpeek29208]

man thats some awesome work! loving the car

 

[Jaguar_5]

Looks great, I love the antenna idea Lets see a picture of that completed spoiler!

Some great work you're doing here, keep it up!

 

[Setheroo]

Amazing bumper, I really oughta do that to mine.. it looks fantastic.

 

[bloodasp90]

wow.. i cant think of anything else to say.. but wow..

 

[DeSloth]

Although the car is back togethor, I have yet to finish the spoiler. I had a small 'incident' which means the sides need to be repainted.

MOAR

 

[DeSloth]

I haven't finished the spoiler yet, and a mechanic reversed my car into a sign yesterday. It cracked one side of my bomex rears - not happy

I took some pictures today, so I have to pimp my car someplace. Feedback welcome, but be gentle - I'm not a photographer

I hope nobody is using dialup.....

Enjoy!

Wow... nice work. Are you planning on adding side skirts too? I think they might help with the bottom flow a little better.

 

[hottscennessey]

Wow, car looks amazing.

I totally agree with you about the lower line, but I don't know what to do about it...

I really want to retain a 'stock' look, so that knocks out pretty much everything except for kaminari. Unfortunately it is very expensive to have anything bulky (i.e. sideskirts) shipped US --> AU. I think it looks ok, so for the time being I shall leave her be

 

[cool chuck]

That's cool. BTW, really nice work on the moldings!
