Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

[Kosh]

To anyone thinking this would be a cool kit, remember the simple fact that it's done in steel would make it impossible...

Actually on the contrary...once he gets it painted it would be perfect to pull a mold from and then you could just start making parts so easy. For instance there's a guy on here that replicates authentic body kits, he could easily replicate the body panels and even do em in carbon!!! just some ideas...

I THINK it's close to a normal grey interior, but I'd have to see the parts side by side...

There are quite a few different shades in the interior as well, so swapping some choice high wear pieces with normal grey probably wouldn't hurt the overall effect...

it will make my car look lame parked next to it:nono: , so maybe ill find a stock car to compare it to.

I've thought about that too, and have so far opted to use OEM grey seat belts and window switch covers; stuff that could get chipped or scratched. Any other items that might wear through the paint fast?

Steering wheel?

 

[Poodles]

steering wheel, door handles (both the one to open the door, and the grab handles to close it), armrests....

just sit in your car (well, since it's in pieces, someone else's car) and rest your hands around where they would be and see what you'll touch. It's not a whole lot, but flaking paint looks like crap (seen a few interiors painted and when they start to peel it's....bad)

 

[americanjebus]

door panel where you rest your arm, steering wheel, e brake handle, center console lid, the speaker pod (i rest my knee on it allot) door handles, switches, and the "oh shit" handles. (every passenger i have seams to have the need to fuck w/ those handles)

Thanks again for the approval guys! :thumbup: Venturing into uncharted territory with the Mk3 can be rather unnerving, wondering how it'll look, how it'll work out... plus I have yet to drive the car now that the framerails are full of mega-density foam..!

Making some more headway with the interior covering the inserts with suede. Finally something fun to put together for a change!

Custom made water jet-cut carbon fibre gauge bezel! I'm likin' this

 

[Poodles]

that looks great

 

[Supraholics]

Coming along REALLY nice!!!

 

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

Can't wait to see what it will look like when its finished.

 

[speed]

Not feeling the white faced gauges, but dayum the rest is smoking.


Just curious, when do you plan to have it on the road again? this winter? spring?

 

[bmoss85]

just read the whole thread, great work. cant wait to see it finished!

 

[Figit090]

Tek: Yep I think the Stock look but Wide would be great

With the 240z people always thought something was different but couldn't pick it

THATS what was different....nice.

AWESOME CAR TEKDEUS!!!!!! i love it... shit it looks cool without paint!! :icon_bigg
