guys
this is what i was doing to the front of her
until i was asked if id do an si type spoiler to sell
id never heard of one before
funny how things go
and id like to a b 16 swap in a couple of years i hope
she deserves the attention and money
i got her with 40000 miles on her and she now has 230000 on the clock and the 1300cc engine is
running great and not burning any oil
i used to change it every 4000 miles on the dot
regards andrew

Hmm, that looks promesing.

Have you shaped stuff for fiberglassing before? Looks like you have some experience smile.gif

As for the pop up, what about just having covers? Better airodynamics and less things to go wrong >_<

Thats looking pretty awesome! Kinda has a NSX look but also has a accord aerodeck look. Even kinda of a mk1 Elan look.. Neat.

Awesome work by the way!

That looks exquisite .. If I had a 3G I would have a woody right now.. sweet.. Looks a hell of a lot more aerodynamic too as well as great looking.

Good job. wink.gif
Id actually make the headlamps flush using projectors with a clear cover over them, instead of the pop ups IMO.

i think that'll look killer. i kinda think if you make the side holes (light housings) with rounder.. more curved corners it would look better with the rest of the lines of the car. Just not too drastic... too boxy right now imo.. looks... and it clashes with the central hole...

but still, the design is cool! goodluck. can't wait to see finished product

guys thanks for your peplies
it does look like a mk1 rx 7 and the toyota supra
the nsx front looks interesting
having no popups would save a lot of work
heres a few more photos of the foglights which i got from halfords a wellknown uk car shop
and indicator sidelights are british leyland mk 1 metro city from around 1980 bought new a few weels ago
they are the only ones i could find in this arrangement
a member in the uk would like to buy a compleat front for his car
i have designed the panels to take lights that are available and easy to buy in the uk
so if he goes ahead he will be able to get the parts
having moulds means if anything gets damaged ill be able to fix it with new panels
and if anyone else wants a front for their car i can mould them a set
it was just something i wanted to do to my car for years

well the drawing says it all..............
regards andrew
