Ok so i got this already way way way deep into construction. ANd it has a long way to go but wanted to share.

I got the car and within 2 days it was painted(not final paint but not 5 different primers), all air was fixed and leak free, dash was switched, seats, tires, almost all engine, long road ahead still.

Even got a stereo in but no pics yet, nothin pretty just a jl 10, oh and i got it sitting on the ground. No power steering though anymore.

 

did you mold the upper grill to the bottom of the fab kit??
looks good so far i like it..

 

I hate to be all negative and such, seeing as you've put a lot of work into this, but the body gaps and fitment around the headlights/hood look really bad...

 

It looks like a good project car... but I gotta agree with nacho, make the fitment the first thing you work on.

 

fitment can be fine tuned...but a great project underway...he did say it has a long way to go...give him time

 

Ok you guys, i bought the car like that.. And i can't fix the fitment. How do you get lights out of a bumper that dosn't come off. Leave a gap. I am working on that though, only so much you can do, gots to get creative.

The lower pictures are 2 days after i got it, and notice the top pics thegap has been fixed mildly. more tocome.

 

Maybe try to do some custom headlights and trun signals with dual projectors from something else. Mold it all together and access the lights from behind. You could add those old scholl headlight brows you were telling me about. It would give it an evil look.

 

Haha barry you rule. That is actually what i was thinkin, but i need someone like you to help. Hip it was nice to see you again at exposed to bad we didn't get to hang out that much, everyone was so busy this year.

 

nice project there is a similar xb out here in socal good luck with it can't wait to see the finished project

 

ew yes i had seen a few photos of it and it is sick, full open deck no back seat with that sick and sexy rear glass that flips up, very nice in deed.

 

That's the *****! definately keep us updated with pics, I cant' wait to see your progress, looks like most of the tough stuff is done already!.

 

niceee...keep up the good work

 

few more pics i liked

here is a pic with my buddies xd we did air ride on as well.

 

holey moldy! it's like a giant, molded, shaped, ... THING. will be watchin for future updates. unique so far.

 

I was kinda thinking "Unibody"... but moldy works as well

Good luck with the project EmoDeathKill... looks like it would definitely be fun.

 

so this thing needed a TON of work right off the bat?
I remember when it was blue, and had been for sale for over a year. Seller told me there was nothing wrong, just needed to be finished, mostly inside.
I was looking at it and was thinking about it, but I change stuff and work on my cars too much for me not to be able to take stuff off the car(ie bumpers etc) and did not really care for everything being molded to the car. I knew it would just be probs for me.

I am glad you are working on it and trying to make it better, and will be watching for updates as well.

 

choice find . do it up

 

you have already cleaned it up nicely, and you have major ***** to dive into a project where someone else had made such unique mods.

the thing is, the majority of the work looks good, it's just a little fine tuning in my opinion.

 

please repaint those calipers and drums, that green looks horrible

 

would look nice with the fuel filler door shaved and relocated somewhere inside the bed

are u keeping those same wheels?

and does that back side window still go down? it'd be nice if it still did

keep us posted on updates
