/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif thats a lot of bondo.... hope it turns out well... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

Im not worried about the bondo, im worried about the interior paint more, i heard it doesnt do well after few months due to sunlight exposure /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

Ill give you credit for all the hard work and effort but otherwise, its not really my cup of tea.. although Id like to see the outcome.

^^ Im expecting the same reply from most of the members here, i know they really dont like this kind of body work, but i had to do this, the rims are 18" and they used to touch the front fenders and the rear quarter panels pretty hard, so had to give them space, didnt want to sell them so ended with body work instead. Well lets see hows the outcome.

 

Your work would really be appreciated in the volkswagen mk3 forum. I kinda like it, and love that you have the balls to do the fender flares. This is really needed when you start getting low and racey.

Is that yellow around the switches? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

What are you using to build on the bumpers?


And I think its pretty sick. No one around here is going to like what your doing, but if you like it, and it fits your setup, by all means make it your own.

 

[Specter]

No that's not yellow, yellow is rice in my book /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif that's beige, the pictures are showing it as yellow, i plan to make leather seat covers with a combo of black and beige. The Door panels would also be getting beige trim over the orignal cloth trim.

Oh yes i do like it, infact i love it, i also love the fact this galant is probably the only one in asia that i know of which has these fender flares. All the body kit, the side skirts, fender flares, and bumpers lips are of solid steel. It wont even budge in a small fender bender accident. The lips on both the bumpers are bolted on, so the bumpers can be returned to stock with no problem at all. I also have spare JDM fenders in case i need to take these off the car. The fender flares and side skirts have been welded on the body to ensure strength and long life. I wanted to make it look good as well as ensuring solid strength. The only enemy i have is rust /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif I guess many members would rather look at this galant as ricey i guess /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I've just never understood why people feel the need to draw attention to little vents and switches by painting them a contrasting color? It's tacky, IMO.

^^ To brighten up the interior a little bit i guess /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Factory interior is much better.
