Well as some poeple know i am the winner of the 2 door SEMA cavy body kit. I haven't taken very good pictures but i will be on the 9th ( this upcoming monday) when me and a few guys test fit atleast the front bumper and the side skirts. So anyways on with the pictures!
The primer on the bumper is for two reasons, There were metal brackets on the bumper and they were starting to fall off ( crappy glassing them in and they started to rust) so i made some new fiberglassed ones and glassed them in. The other reason is the body filler + moister ordeal that was told to Big Pappa. Granted im not using metal so it wont rust but i wont want the paint to stick like crap on it so might as well.
Now to When i got the body kit, in the grass and in the sun...
My dad has a project just like me...
For some reason i dont think this one the engine take came out of it when we got it ....
Out with the weak/old
In with the new 12 bolt!
"Come on Dad the BIG brakes for the j-bodies are 12 or 13" in diameter ... theres are a wimpy 11" Well i gues there better then 4 wheel drum lol
This is the best picture i can get of the pint job thats shows it all. If you have alot of BMW's around you Find a "M" series one ad find the blue lol Thats the color of the car!
Its coming along!
Now to let others know whats going on, I've ordered a Evo Hood ( going to twist it around a little bit
) and i have a hidden antenna ariving today with the USPS both thanks to Jason @ A+ !!! Once A freind gets back home he is sending me a set of wiesco pistons so i can start machining my block at work
once they show you im ordered eagle rods, 3+ spec clutch, and Spec flywheel so i can send off the bottom end to get lightened ( crank is going on a diet and then heat treated) and then its all getting balanced. Once thats all done im going to start working my A$$ off to make sure i have all the $$$$ for the repainting of the car around spring time. Color i picked out was off a 2005 Lotus Elise Chrome Orange.
Thanks for reading! keep an eye out for updates!
can't wait to see that kit painted and on your car.
congrats on the win man. that's the only kit I'd put on my Cav.

Yes we are test fitting it ( We i mean as in Wrenchmonkey aka Tom, and Snowblindbird aka mark are going to be doing that this monday ( the 9th also my b-day)
Thanks guys, i figured i would get the "I hate you" responce but i responced as in sorry. Making a mold ... nope. i have a senimental value for the kit and i dont feel like sending it out to get a mold made. Shipping scares me and how they make molds scare me. Only thing ive been thinking about molding is the spoiler if the price is right from Jim @ gravana.
Well damn that kit looks so good. I only wish that I had it is all...
I still have not heard back from Jim. I'm going to call him either tomorrow if they are open, or Monday to see if we can't get this made. I thank you for letting us maybe get this done.
while i wish this kit was mass produced, if i would've won it i wouldnt have sent it in either. if you do end up sending in the spoiler at least that would make me happy in the pants.
Nice man! Congrats on winning it! How much did you give, if you dont mind my asking?
I would ask 500$ for everyone who want,s a replica. lol
Nice buy dude, I'm jealous.
i was gonna go wit that kit, but i only paid 160 for my wings west kit shipped! so yeah!
