started work on e36 wide bode conversion

[tom3er]

It's still in a really early stage so it will be sanded down and modded a lot in days to come.
I'm thinking of putting 19" wheels in there and making the arches about 6 cm (+/- 2.2 inches) wider then normal.
What you see on the pics in a hard foam material (really strongà that I'm just using to ge he desired shape and afterwards I'll put glasfiber over it.

I don't understand what you say in the other thread but the pics look good, I think you're doing great. Good work.

BTW, I will strip off the driver's door handle too.

i hate the rear bumper, doesnt belong, but everything else looks off the chain!!! also, i would be interested in knowing how you painted your interior.

[tom3er]

The front door handles are staying for covenience.
@outkasaliens, I just sanded down the complee dash and put lots of primer on it (think it was like 7 or 8 layers) and then spray painted it the same color as the car's body.

[outkastaliens]

nice work bro!

hey question. is that foam i see that your making the flares out of? of are you using the foam to shape and size the flares and then make them out of fiberglass or metal?

[tom3er]

That is foam I'm using to create the desired shape. Those will be covered in fiberglass when done and the fiberglass will be glued to the car's body

[outkastaliens]

why don't you just lay some carbon fiber over the fiberglass ;)

[tom3er]

That might look good, but it would look better if the hood was covered in fiberglass and I haven't founf a shop thas has fiberglass in big enough dimensions to cover the entire hood
I will be covering my complete trunk install finish in fiberglass by the way.

i hope you werent asking about the CF on my flares. i do not want my car to be mistaken for Farcon's i love all the CF work he has done but its too much for me. i want what isnt really cf to stay body color.

Are you doing that yourself? The progress looks promising :D

[tom3er]

Yep, 100% made by me.
