MY S13->S15 widebody conversion update **56k die**

[Siizzzoooo]

yeah, i've posted this up on a couple of other boards, but i just wanted to get some ideas on paint.

Aren't you guys glad I got rid of the bomex kit?...lol

(I know it looks like crap so bear with me :Ownedd: )

So we were workin on it at the shop and we decided to install the rear fenders with just rivets and be done with it.

But for ****s and giggles molding it all in came up and here are some progress of it.

:naughtyd:

[CoasTek240]

looking hott man, as opposed as i am to molding on body parts, (b/c of my first 240--completly molded--bad experience)
but that looks really good. and prolly the best choice for rear wide fenders, you want it to look like its seamless and your car is made like that.
good work, keep it up

[zaneithan]

you decide to hold onto it man?

[jdm-drift]

looks good now its time for a 5 lug and brake upgrade, and some better offset wheels

[Siizzzoooo]

yeah, i think its needless to say that I am keeping it

I'm very confident that it will not crack. My body man=God and we're using some good ol SMC adhesive body filler

suspension,brakes, and new wheels are going to be priority after paint..

[zaneithan]

god, I can't wait to see this car done its sooo sweet

[VersionS13]

What size are the rear wheels right now?

[Siizzzoooo]

tiny 17x8 +35mm offsets on 225/45 tires all around :/

[HyperTek]

like 350 silver, or top secret gold... I think would look cool.

[Marty]

are those 30mm or 50mm wide rear fenders?

[eyustfu]

which wheels and offset do you plan on going with?

[DRFT]

i tihnk they are 50mm

[Powashiftin]

are those the m-sport rears?

[Siizzzoooo]

I'm not really sure what kind of wheels I plan on going with.

I'm kinda torn between doing a 5 lug conversion and getting another set of FN01Rs 17x9F and 17x10R

OR

getting a set of Volks with low offset 4 lug pattern 17x9F 18x10R

[red240]

I have 30mm wide rears molded on mine and I'm running 11" wide volk GTC's so if those are 50mm you'll need some 12"S to fill them up
nice work by the way

[No Motiv]

looks hot....bling

[M.Piedlourde]

Very nice. I'm glad you're not using S15 tails. They look like they were stolen off a Pontiac.

[Siizzzoooo]

well i'm definately not going any bigger than 10 wides in the back-its NOT a total show car now, its definately gonna see some action. Low offset is key to making it flush.

[D_O_Double_G]

Looks nice man, real nice. What rear bumper is that? I'm going to be doing the S15 conversion too but I haven't been able to find a nice rear. But I like that one.

[Yoshi]

Looks nice man, real nice. What rear bumper is that? I'm going to be doing the S15 conversion too but I haven't been able to find a nice rear. But I like that one.

eh, what does the rear have to do with the s15 FRONT???

Sizzooo... did u get my PM about headlight wiring?
Can u hook a brutha up? ;)

[BustedS13]

lookin' good. real good. i'm starting to think more and more that the front end conversion is worth the price...

[Siizzzoooo]

its worth the price if you get everything else that should belong on the car with it

[nismo skyline]

looking real good cant wait to see it when its all done

[D_O_Double_G]

eh, what does the rear have to do with the s15 FRONT???

Sizzooo... did u get my PM about headlight wiring?
Can u hook a brutha up? ;)

It doesn't have anything to do with it. I just haven't been able to find a nice looking rear bumper.

[turbod240]

What kind of adhesive did you use to mold your rear widebody panels on? I am molding mine on and have heard to use a fiberglass body panel adhesive, I just havent found where to buy some yet. I heard soemthing about corvette body panel adhesive.

[Siizzzoooo]

haha, actually we ARE using Vette glass, its called SMC Adhesive Filler. VERY strong stuff.

We are primering both fenders up today. They are about 80-85% done. I'll try to get some pix

[nokeone]

I'm not really sure what kind of wheels I plan on going with.

I'm kinda torn between doing a 5 lug conversion and getting another set of FN01Rs 17x9F and 17x10R

OR

getting a set of Volks with low offset 4 lug pattern 17x9F 18x10R

what offset are you looking at...to fill that cave you are going to need like 17x10.5 +12 or less with additional spacers...

[Siizzzoooo]

these were the sizes I think would work well
Front17x9 +17mm offset-i think the fronts may need to have a lower offset, like +15 or +12
Rear 18x10 +12mm offset

but im not sure, i'm still getting feedback from others who have more experience in this area

[phrozen]

glad to see ur keeping it.. but b4 i recall u kept putting more and more money into it and couldnt afford it or something. haha its koo to put money into ur car but also know when to put it off for awhile. But the car looks sick

[eyustfu]

18x10 are not out yet, only 10 width in the fn01r-c are the 17x10

[yacho7]

:bowdown: :rawk: :) :) :) :faint:

[DRO916]

whats ur car domain site

[Siizzzoooo]

I think i'm dead set on getting the Volk GT7s :Ownedd:

my car domain site is www.cardomain.com/id/sizzo

im gonna try to organize the site a little better once i get a chance

[Siizzzoooo]

here is a quick update on the progress

tonite we are pretty much set in how the fenders are molded, and tonite we applied several coats of urethane primer to smooth everything out.

We are going to block it one more time to make it as slick as possible, and then put another 3-5 finishing coats of the urethane primer.

the last coat on there is a light coat of black so we know where we started, looks like snow camo...haha

enjoy :)

[SaintlyCharBoy]

i'm just curious, what does the inside of the fender look like? does it allow you to retain stock mounting for rear valences? or do the fenders just leave you to ... improvise ...

[Siizzzoooo]

We didnt need to cut that low. It still mounts to where it normally would

[Rick-95ZE]

yeah, i've posted this up on a couple of other boards, but i just wanted to get some ideas on paint.


:naughtyd:

Not Black!!!! :rolleyes:

[Siizzzoooo]

yeah i can pretty much guarantee it wont be black

[boro240]

keep a black roof though. :)

[Siizzzoooo]

we'll see soon enough

but change of plans, we are gonna take our time and not paint it for another month or so. My body man wants EVERYTHING perfect!

[zaneithan]

do it a deep blue

[clean]

do you have a hand in that body work? im prepping my car so i can have it painted, i've been working on it for 2 weeks now sanding as much paint off as possible and tommorow i start the bondo. it is mega frustrating. anyway your ride looks sweet. when you buy the gt7's sell me the 5zigens

[KasperSlide]

this is the second time ive looked at this page and this time i realized that you have the same idea as i do for my car thats the bn sports 180 blister and the front kit for the s-15. is that correct. im goin subie rally blue for my color. Sh!t looks sick. ill post when i get every thing ready

[meatish]

Looks dope! Keep it up.

[rupertaker1]

Where did you get the SMC junk?

[Nismo240SX]

Nice work so far So. For everyone who doesn't know... i'm doing the s15 front too. I've got my headlights, bumper, and fenders( got them from So)... and my hood and rear fenders are ordered. BTW, which rear fenders do you have? I ordered the GTP... i figured if i'm going to be doing some work to get rid of the gapped front fenders... might as well go all out. I'm getting my car painted again the same dark metallic blue, with a hint of pearl overlay. SR is coming in in about 3 weeks. I'm so stooked on this whole project. So, we're going to have to meet up after we both finish our projects.

[DRFT]

i wouldnt say going GTP is "going all out"

[Nismo240SX]

i meant going all out on the body work... meaning the GTP doesn't fit too well.. dipshit
