This isnt really a wide body, it just has over sized horrible looking fender flares. A wide body is actually using metal and widening the lines of the car, not just sticking fiberglass on and filling in the gap with foam and bondo.

Well thats where your wrong im definetly not filling gaps with foam an bondo thats not how i do things the fenders and rear quarter panels are coming out about 2 more inches than the original body and the fenders are being completely fabricated out of fiber glass and seporated from the original i dont know where u got ur info from but you couldnt be more wrong on that the wide body portion of this has not quite started yet read the post before making statements like that one an another thing the part about using metal for that purpose that is one way i guess but not the only

Way too wide for me, and not a fan of the over exaggerated fender flares.
I'd be down for like 25mm wide body in the front and 35mm in the back...nothing more though. Gotta be able to fit wheels otherwise it looks ridiculous. Looking good though, you are very good at customization. I would love to see a clean wide body kit available for people looking for a more aggressive Celica. edit: I like the blue car above, something like that would be sweet.

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. Maybe in the 1970's! ![]() No seriously it's a good attempt but in this day and age and I think when you've finished, make a mould of it and then make a proper FRP pull as a finsh products. If you have your prototype bonded to the actual panel which fallows the joints it's even better cos it means you can remove parts like an entire wing, make a mould and the pulls will be an entire wide wing which is a bolt off and replace kit. Using rivets and steel strips to make a subframe then sheet metal on top is like building a tank. |

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?

All you said was that I'm wrong, yet, every single thing I said your agreed with. And from what i can understand from your post you bought a supra with no rear end for a supra rear conversion? Again, please proof read your posts so that people don't have to reread them three times to figure out what the f*ck your trying to say. Please take some time out of your really busy day moding wicked sweet body parts and read this: How to use Punctuation Correctly.

Yeah when typing from a small touch screen punctuation is the least of my concerns. Srry about that one people. Supra kid i never said i bought the supra for a rear end conversion. I did a custom supra rear end a while back which i still need to finish due to a hit an run. Same with the z type lip thats on it which was hand made as well and i apologize for going off on you last night it was bad timming when u posted an i was in a bad mood. Well that being said later people ill be posting more as i progress.

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. -------------------- |

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

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. |

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.

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..

how won't it be a celica anymore? it still has a celica body (slightly modified), and a different engine, with different suspension up front.
someone put a 2jz in a volvo, it's still a volvo. |

The chassis will be completely tubed, the front suspension,steering, and brakes will be something else. The engine, transmission and drive shaft will be supra. The body will have to be altered and extended to fit the engine. The interior will have to be changed to house the massive transmission tunnel needed. The only thing left a celica will be the body. |

It'd be a kit car. Too much work for the sake of the engine. Might as well just buy a Supra at that point with all the money you'd spend. Not to mention, the Supra looks better :\ What would be fun is to take the front end off your Celica and fabricate it to fit the Supra body you just picked up. Celica-Supra :dodgy: Then you wouldn't have to change anything engine wise, it would be a cheaper build, and you'd have a 4 headlight unique Supra!

Naahh im pretty much committed at this point. So the swap is gonna happen but right now most my money is going into buying a 96 rx7 twin turbo for the girlfriend or the 68 camaro we have not decided yet. Since i dont really trust her to drive my other lowered car without ripping off the front end on the road i gotta get her one now. I want the rx an shes on the fence about it an wants 68 ^_^ i know that was totaly off subject.
yeah i had talked to josh about his 2jz 7gen for a bit an decided against using the oem chassis To much fabrication an rabid its funny u mention that im playing with idea of ordering th front clip from a supra which i hve been looking at no engine but complete front assembly with suspension taking that an cutting the clip off the 6gen then welding the front end from supra at the shop then starting the swap an doing a front end conversion to the gt four which would not be hard but it also presents problems to over come as well so im undecided as of yet but researching my idea to c if its possible or if i should go different route we will see. ohh an in three months im ready for paint so ill be posting some more pics soon on that subject. I hate posting from my phone it took like an hour just to get this readable lol This post has been edited by deathdoakill: Jun 24, 2011 - 1:02 AM |

as far as your wide body ideas are concerned check out fiberglassforums.com they offer some damn good advice on using foam as a base plug to make your parts from, i was attempting some splitters but some how my foam wasnt how i cut it from one day to the next dunno what happened lol

Personally Im all for this project because its something different n creative. Wether its wide body, head/tail light conversons, or body kit conversions. If its different then go for. Tho the Celica is a beautiful car, some creativity wouldnt hurt. Just the ideas that someone can put into action is not only amazing but also motivational in a sense.

Also making some minor changes to the vent on the fender as well. hoping to have the front done by friday if all goes well then the rear. Even cut the lip in half wher the bumper meets the fender so i can take off the front if needed

ok I have to say. Though I'm all supportive about doing a wide kit and its brave what you're doing but that fender vet..... baaaad idea.
The idea of a fender vent is to release air not to suck it in. As you drive at a high speed the air pressure increases from air ramming into from the front, along the sides and being trapped in the fenders. This is just going to make it worse. |

Right now just the engine an tranny. shell was in pretty bad shape As far as damages but still looks to be salvagable as far as from mid front to the rear. So im contemplating picking it up just not sure if i want it yet but i think i know wut you would be getting at as far as shell goes

I like ur fender vents man, always have lol. Maybe ill try it out as well.
Im ordering the supra rear friday finally, had the tails for like 2 weeks. Was your supra rear a 3 piece, or did you just buy the bumper and add on to it? (thanks again, if you could show me which one you bought thatd help me out a ton) -------------------- |

Way swap is gonna be a pain in the ass seems like a good trade but do you plan on rebuilding the 2jz and put it in a car like a supra or just rebuild and sell it? but then again in my eyes a 2jz has more potential then the skyline engine(just my point of view dont mean to offend any skyline fans) |

I do feel the same way i think the 2j engine might offer more in way of potential the plan was to tear apart the 2j an rebuild the engine all aftermarket but the kicker here is the skyline engine hes offering is fully built already with greddy turbo 's plus he ows me like 350 dollars so iether way i come out ahead

Keep this updated, im curious to see how you pull this off. Props to you for going along with your own idea and not letting others shape your car for you. If you do a good job im positive this **** will look sick. Keep it up.

well if you put it that way if hes willing to trade a fully built skyline engine for a stock 2jz the guy must have really deep pockets to built the 2jz engine and start from scrap or he just a 2jz fan whos willing to trade anything to get that engine besides if you feel like youll come out winning then go ahead but remember a 2jz whit stock internal puts out great power if you go whit aftermarket parts whit it youll end up getting more in return whit the 2jz then the skyline motor would give just my 2 cents and good luck whit it and on your wide body kit built cant wait till its finish
