modified 350z veilside front widebody and fender semi conversion - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #70437 72 posts Started by deathdoakill
well this project has sorta taken on a life of its own i am in the process of moding a 350z front veilside kit with flares to fit my 94 toyota celica i will not be converting to the front headlights and i will be keeping the four front lights up in the front (upgrading to projectors ) and the kit will be modded an cut to pieces to fit the celica ive got everything in my head as of now and i will be drawing out schematics and concept art for this project to pin point where i am going to cut and fiber galss ect... i am in the process of getting a 3sgte upgrade as well but as you know this takes time the supra rear end conversion is nearing completion and will be done before the end of november that being said i am begining the thread for this front end 350z style front end... this is the pic that got it all started... and got me thinking so im crossing these to kits and fabricating my own custome kit which i will be making copys of and possibly selling later down the line...



This is the veilside front iv got that im starting after november




Ill keep you all posted >:)>....
Isn't that a 7GC in the first pic? Can't say I'm a fan of that, but I'm excited to see where you'll take this. thumbsup.gif

You might want to have a really long discussion with player158 prior to chopping your own celi into pieces. If done right this might look good.. although all you had to do was buy a invader front bumper for 6gc celicas, remove the bottom lip and do whatever you wanted to do. But project is a project. Best of luck mate.

nahh not planning on cutting my front end the kit is being cut to fit i mght cut the fenders not sure yet thgh
hey whats up.. personally, i think that you are better off going with the FULL headlight conversion as well....... it will cost u ALOT LESS in the long run, and in my opinion look better and cleaner... it will be very hard to keep your 4 celica lights.. if your are doing a 'conversion' convert the whole front, if your just usuing the body kit... its not really a conversion. i think if you have the time and the money go for it all !!! but thats up 2 u !!!! biggrin.gif
yes sir i do agree but its not reely a conversion i guess... im custom building a front end for this celica using the 350z style veilside kit as a template i want pepo to be able to tell its still a celica so ill be keeping the four lights up front ill figure out how im doing this as i go ive always like the four lights on our cars and i wanted to keep these in the design so yeah but like i said this is the start of a new kit im putting together for our cars so after initial fabrication i should have a full kit worked up and for sale later this year but all this takes time smile.gif

well this is the start of everything for the copying of the veilside kit








ill be posting more picts of the copying procedures and how to steps on fabrication so any questions let me know ill post pics depending on some of the questions the members ask.... now that i think about it maybe ill do a full front 350z conversion on my girlfriends gt only drawback is its not a hatch but you cant beat a celica for 300 dollars smile.gif
Just make sure that whatever it is that you do.. does not permanently bench your celica for 3 years. Reeeeeally easy to get carried away. We have members here that have not driven their celicas probably since 2000 and still working on it. If you know what i mean o-O

wow man thts crazy just wow not something i would ever ever consider doing. If anything my celi will be down for twenty four hours at most but still drivable the onlything that is gonna take out my celi is gonna be the engine swap im planning on doing or if my engine blows twohundred eighty thousand miles already so yeah thats crazy mang since 2000 omg i cant live without my celi

Your posts look like a terrible case of ADHD...you need some periods in your life, my friend.

But sounds good. I'm anxious to see how you're gonna make this fit onto the front.

Had to help out a friend with some bills and only have forty left for week.The front end is completed an ready to be test fited and cut but i need more fiberglass to strengthen it. Its still to thin to work with without cracking so ill be re-resining this week on Friday and once its dry the fun stuff begins and i get to cut it up to actually test fit it to the celica. Im still trying to figure out where im moving the highs to or if im keeping them in the same spot might have to relocate dont know yet we'll see. Bunch of stuff keeps coming up to inhibit the progress of my project keep getting pulled over here in sa because of the way my car looks according to a freind who works with s.a. pd. im getting pulled over because the police that patrol the area i live in think my car looks out of place an suspicious.go fig its because i moved to the north side.thats it im moving back to the hood gun shots sweet gunshots lol

HAHA laugh.gif laugh.gif

But this is definitely interesting, but personally i love the gt-4 look, wouldnt want to change it for anything else.
ok guys i posting some rough picts of the front end... im already well past this part and have moved on to fiberglassing the actual completed kit but i didnt get to take the picts of this part yet so tomarrow night ill be posting picts

very rough picts very rough lol





I can dig where you are headed with this. I'm gonna need to see some less rough pics to have my opinion a committed yay or nay, but so far so good I think.

Kinda reminds me of that mask that was worn in Silence of the Lambs. Something about it just dosent seem right about it (the lines don't seem to flow), but I'm sure that you'll work that out! Got any pics from the front?
haha I remember the days of using blue tape to "release" fiberglass.....seriously just go pick up meguires GLAZE release wax, saves a lot of time and MUCH better results
ok sme more rough shots have not even begun to get rid of all the rough edges yet so keep it in mind im awaiting drying right now









like i said still looks like crap till later tonight

Hmm... that car looks awfully suspicious... Lol. Just kidding. This could go either way. It's not as bad as I thought. I read "350Z bumper on a Celica" and I was a little scared, but it's not looking as terrible as I thought. Keep us updated. And tell your friend to get a job laugh.gif no, I'm just kidding again. I know how bad it sucks being broke. You're a good friend for helping him out.
