Mould Progress Pics.. Toyota AE86

I just found these photos!
They are almost the same, but just in different stages.. [i like being able to see from start to finish]
This was the AE86FB.

Raw plug - finished and ready to be moulded



Painted black 2k

Wah no gelcoat pics.. ok so we are missing a step of tooling gel but im sure we all know that..


First layer 300CSM down + tooling bog/chopped fibres.
Fully laid up

Memories: The build of one of our first sponsor cars =^-^=

ill also throw in some plug pictures of this bar in plug form - it was our own design, built from scratch and then adapted to other cars.. it was originally built on the R33 Skyline, then the second car it was developed for was the 180SX. Here we took prettymuch the bottom half of the 33 bar, and chopped/modded/blended it with the top of a 180SX bar .. it takes longer than it sounds.. lol. Then we smoothed prepped and moulded, etc, the usual process..



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So we got the car in and it was full kit all round - front bar, widebody front gaurds, sideskirts, widebody rear gaurds, and rear bar. [headlight cover too maybe at one point?] Pulled all the panels off and grinded out the rear gaurds and tacked for pumping.


Trial fitting of all panels then started prepping for paint



Pretty sure this was Mazda3 yellow? Or maybe Madza6. Some Mazda paint anyways lol.


Stickers down then magenta black and white airbrushed over


After removing the stickers


TANKITY TANK TANK


All finished, car complete :)

Pre-Paint is Sexyy

As i always say, cars look ten times better BEFORE paint becuase you can actually see the work that has been put into them.. i mean dont get me wrong, paint can make things look a million dollars, but can also be quite deceiving!~

A couple of examples of stuff we've worked on.. pre and post paint =^-^=

Seanys Widebody Ford TX3 [omgg the tx3 with the white bonnet yulleh, as it used to be known, haha :)  ]



And finished..






Jeffs R33 Skyline [the one we started the widebody on that we never got to finish, it just ended up with standard GTR pumps i think from memory.. ]




And finished..
