Supragal Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Originally posted by Faye That car is seriously wide!!!

There is a chance it may squeeze through width restrictions and also fit through my gateway, which is nice I measured the gateways this morning and 1 is about 2ft wider than the car, the other 2.5ft wider so it's just the tight turn in that'll be a problem.

attilauk Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 WOW, im likin that:) Trigs spoiler really does set the rear end off too:) im lookin forward to seeing it finished:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 It looks a lot like it did in the "last time I saw it pics" - it seems that you bringing the spoiler is about the most work that has been carried out for a long time Should be interesting though, looking forward to seeing the finished result.

Supragal Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Well only the drivers side door was in fibreglass last time, now it's all fibreglassed and they had to do the foamwork for the back too, ao, although in 3 weeks thats not great it's loads better than they've achieved in the 3 week periods before now!! They reckon 4 weeks. i don't !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashpoint Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 It's nearly ready But the fibre glass does remind me of Aliens with that nice slimy look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Like the back end and rear arches, looks very mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Coming on nicely, its actually taking shape at last! No offence but I'd still stay at least 6 months to go but I'm sure it will be very good when done, the spoiler looks perfect too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 based on their past working times then 6 months indeed!! Na, it's all moving on pretty fast now. Fingers crossed it stays that way. the fibreglass isn't actually wet/slimy, it's totally dry and solid in all the pics i have, it's just shiny and the flash is bouncing off it. It took me ages to realise why people kept saying that it looked like something out of ghostbusters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I don't really like the look of it. It doesn't follow the lines of the car properly, and its too square at the back. Sorry... But I'll keep my final judgement untill I see it completely finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 It's come a long way. I'm not sure if I like it though. Cant really tell until it's finished and painted with those huuge wheels on it though! One thing for sure is that it will definately be unique. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 It's ok guys, I don't expect everyone to like it- just the same as I'm not mad keen on standard looking cars. It's a one off show car so it's gotta be a bit chrazeeeeeeee Interestingly enough I agree though, I think the back is too square. I've been assured that it all smooths off though. In all honesty I just want the car back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 ok, the latest. not overly exciting but they've finished the fibreglass, put some red stuff over it and now filler. one side is almost done in filler (the smooth one, obviously!) then once it's all in filler it's primer time.... passenger side smoothed in filler: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/3131/passengersidesmall.jpg drivers side in filler but not smoothed: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2222/driverssidesmall.jpg sort of the passenger rear quater kind of....: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7640/passengerrearquartersmall.jpg and one from behind http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8377/rearsmall.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 That looks like its been working out in the gym! I like the rear quarter the most very nice. Its very dusty why is one of the windows open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Originally posted by toyotasuprauk Its very dusty why is one of the windows open? it's not exactly 'open' theres no glass in it... it's normally covered with a sheet (since i whinged and whinged at them about i) but i guess they needed to open the door to do the door shuts. yeah, it's ok. i'm liking the way it's shaping up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 JAE- I'm not convinced. I really really really hope so. It does look enormous, although a bit pink for my liking. Maybe Paul E will like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
