Caboobaroo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I recently went to the junkyard and got some new parts for the RX that I've been needing/wanting. Newest addition was all the vacuum stuff for the center diff, front fenders and an '86 front bumper. Got the bumper on today and started hacking apart one of the fenders today as well. Sorry about the crappy cell pics but my digital camera died at the first pic:-\ Enjoy! Can you see what I'm doing? Widebody conversion, woo!

Jerry DeMoss Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I could smell wide body a mile away. And it wasn't mayonaise smell that gave it away either. Should look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Yeah I'm not going too extreme, just enough to make it look different and so I don't rub with some 17's. That and maybe some staggered offset rims too;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spokanesoob Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 just wear protection when swapping body parts that's gonna look pretty sweet if i don't say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2K4 STI Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Nice on the wide fenders.That should look Sweet when done Is there any difference in the bumpers between the years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 '85 and '86 are shorter and the turn signals are flush with the bumper compared to the '87-'94 bumper. Here's the difference... '85 style [/url] '89 style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 if I could get a sedan with that bumper I'd rock it hard. your widebody looks pimpalicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm at a creative block currently. Everytime I look at the rear quarter, I get lost on how I should cut it to widebody it out. I'm gonna get pissed:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2K4 STI Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 If using the 85 Bumper will the RX front bodykit/Valance still fit on there correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 If using the 85 Bumper will the RX front bodykit/Valance still fit on there correctly? yep. I'm running an '85 front bumper on my loyale with the body kit. keep up the good work. can't wait to see what you end up doing on the back.

joostvdw Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I was just looking at some mitsu starion pictures and though that would be the perfect way of making a wide body on a XT I know you're not working on an XT, but see it as a source of creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
