wide bodykit - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #79591 116 posts Started by deathdoakill
I wouldn't apologize to suprakid.. his post was unnecessary and plain rude. why is it that people troll the forums bashing people about grammar and spelling? this is a car forum, a place where proper grammar is desired, BUT SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED.
on another note, that's a nice find. i hope to find a junkyard supra like that to restore after college.

Go back and reread he was the one that got rude and whatnot first,I said that it wasnt a real wide body, as real widebodys are usually made out of molded fiberglass or metal, because i didn't realize he was using this just as a mold, i thought he was just going to molded the flares on. And his spelling was fine, it was his punctuation that ran the sentences together that made it hard to read.
Yeah i surprised to c it there really surprised but it was to far gone as far as body damages to restore. good for parts at least though. we will see if wasted my money lol

Lol this might no longer be a widebody kit last night around 145 a cop side swiped my car and screwed one side of the build. (Hence bad mood) so i started taking a hammer an drill an and ripping off everything again. Depending on wut parts i rebuild an how it looks idk if im doing wide body i really dont feel like going through all that work an money again. one flare was ripped completely off an daged beyond rgoing. so im going in a different direction but not to. Far off the beaten path ill post pics later today as im changing everything again sigh. Will post new picts today though

Ive been on this forum over twice as long as you, dont even attempt to preach to me nick.

Sorry to hear that death, did he stop or what?
Yeah that prick tried to give a ticket saying i was too far the curb but i wasnt got it on vid him an his attitude plus my girlfriends brother is an officer so when he showed up he quikly changed his tune

He was acting like it was my fault he hit a parked car. It was funny to watch after he showed up though but maybe a good thing extra money for me

>Yes, because going cheap,light and brittle is much better than making something that will actually last and not rattle when going over 60mph, my mistake. May I just point out for the record this was the same guy that was also going to "custom make" his own front bumper, which I do not see on his car. I also find it interesting that the supra was in a roll over, yet the roof and hatch are 100%, and the front end is completely ****ed( i don't think the strut tower is suppose to be at that angle), did it roll front to back?cwm13.gif And please for the love of GOD go back and learn 2nd grade English. Thank you.



that whole things was just disrespectful. and in response to the roll over part, how can you tell it wasnt? there is ONE rear pic, cars dont always roll perfectly on there roof, it could have been more on the passenger side near the windshield.

Seriously? 1: there are 2 pictures, the second one showing the radiator touching the engine and the strut tower being bent. And i was being rude because he started off saying i had no idea what i was talking about. This was between me and death and it has been resolved, your input is not needed.
Everyone sssshhhh, get on with the thread god damnit!

Death keep up the good work. Although it's not my style of doing things, I appreciate it because it's different and innovative. Interesting to watch.
Though it's not the best looking attempt, it's not exactly the wrong way to do it.
You can pretty much do it what ever way you want and if it's for a personal one off production which in the end works and looks good then good on you.
But if it's going to be a product which is to be sold or reproduced then a lot of refining will have to be done such as making it fit perfectly and interchangeable with the original fixings of the car.
In other words you'll probably have to make a mould off it and make 1 piece pieces like I said before.
There's nothing wrong with using FRP and fillers, it's not going to fall apart at 60mph. Looking at most custom production cars, they're just a rolling cage with a FRP 1 piece external shell kinda like a remote control car.
I wouldn't say riveting brackets and panel welding is a good way but it is a way of doing it.
A Friend of mine who does welding would look for an arch off another car and transplant it.
Take a look at this. It was a golf with BMW flared arches transplanted. Just cut out and spot weld on.
http://www.ramscustoms.com/vw_golf_mk3.html#
With weld on, the down side is that it's still heavy but looks original. Also in time it does rust out from the underside quicker than normal even if it's sealed.

Then you have the option of newer techniques such as using expanding foam which we've seen before. Most concept show cars are done that way.

I've even made things out of card and masking tape then fibre glassed and refined before making moulds and then produced.

I'll say keep up the work and lets see the results first after all it's still in the making.

>If your pulling the METAL on the fenders out 2" then why do you have the god awful flares on there? My "info" comes from the pictures you posted of a stock body celica with fender flares taped on... Or are these flares just a mold for fiberglass?Again in which case its not a real "widebody.

THIS is how a real widebody is built:

Notice the lack of masking tape and fiberglass.


does he cut out the original body metal underneath that damn skeleton?

Yeah i prefer mdf or expandable foam wich usually is pretty easy an cheap to work with. Ive done the card and masking as well an those are all good methods.

Lol thats funny. Weelll im not liking this and im thinking i may have to start from scratch. not sure yet i salvaged an cut wut was usable out and pieced stuff together using rivets. If i can get a rough even shape on both sides i may remold them an copy again but im not sure looks like i may start over ill know in a couple days. If it comes out decent ill post more pics but this is wut i got so far most of the fiberglass was cracked all the through on one side.

personaly I like wide body idea... so let's wait for results. Anyway. I'm sure at leat hlaf will say it is good and half it is ugly. Just check already existing + my PERSONAL opinion:

only one for sale as kit - ugly IMO (design of bumper is weird) http://www.redsmodifiedmotors.com/NewStuff.html

rest hand made job... great pieces. Mostly from Celica club Thailand. Those people are unbeliveable workes...:
























No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________

In all fairness, it is pretty difficult to read through all of the broken English with random words missing in important places.

but with that said, Good luck. I'd really like to see this finished so that it doesn't just look like its just a cheap set of bolt on fender flares.

The grey widebody looks teh best IMO, very subtle.
But the red/orange looking one has nice rears, Would look sick with some wieder wheels/better offset.

In my defense its mostly my phone. i type out full sentences and it changes them or deletes half of what i typedwhen i send. Earlier i typed ok thank you be home in a bit and it changed it to no wtf lol. sorry guys but im trying to get my computer back up and hve been updating from my cell. So yeah
more power to you D, if you got the motive and initiative, by all means. if you can make the car wide and a simple creation...that'll do.
dang that yellow widebody celica is awesome

i wanna go to thailand......how can we order it???

of all da things i lost.... i miss my mind da most
ive never seen those celicas before and they are by far some of the sickest 6gcs ive ever seen!!! keep up the work man, its going to look good in the end! just think everything out on how far you wanna go with everything before u decide on paint..do u plan on putting 10" wide tires in the back? and making it a drag car? im pretty sure your going for looks and 'show'... so keep up the good work , dont get discouraged by nonsense..
Yeah im definetly gonna run it. Just a long way off from that. The 2jz is gonna present alot of obsticales and more money than i got right now lol but eventually it will get done. I just gotta finish all my projects right now.
