wide arch project!, please let me know what you think :)

[skillz]

Hi guys, id like to introduce my self, im Jadd, ive owned my fd for 3 yrs now, when i brought it it lasted 2 months before i needed the foreseeable engine rebuild so i took if off the road and saved up some pennys over a couple of years to begin my project.I had the car rebuilt in November 08 by Steve Rivett who also converted it from auto to manual and most importantly convert it from the stock twins to a huge HKS T51s single with all the supporting mods, whilst the rx7 was off the rd i owned a manual fto which i took to Shell Shocked in Devon who fitted a veilside kit and lambo doors for me, The quality was second to none so i was happy to take my rx7 there to see what they could do with the ideas that i had.
 
The wheels i wanted to fit were 13 inch wide on the rear with 335 tyres and 11 inchs on the front. The REA wide arch kit i had brought wasnt even close to covering the rims so alot of modification was needed. After becoming quite friendly with the Shell Shocked owner Richard Cash who has also owned a 550bhp rx7 which my engine modifications were modelled on i was offered a position within the company which i gladly excepted and now run one of his bodyshops in Newton Abbot.
 
Here are the pictures so far and i would be very gratefull if you could all give your honest opinion on what you think so far but pls bare in mind theres still alot that needs to be done.
 
Thanks jadd

OMFG!!!! Mate that looks SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET so far!
Love the rear arches! they look so nice blended in to the body like that as it keeps the flowing line of the car! Not a fan of the wide arch kits that have visable joints to the stock body!

When are you hopeing to get it finished?? Would love to see this thing in the flesh on a sunny day!

looks hench lol! good work! only thing i think would make it look a bit nicer is it seems you have widened the top of the bumper but the bottom is still the same width... i would say maybe widen that to make it look a little less drawn in...

this is a perfect opertunity to graft in some opperational cannards with end fences, bringing the lower edge of the bumper out to the same width
Think that would look pimp!

One step ahead of ya, got the conards but the bumper still needs to be extended.I have lots of other carbon goodies also :Thumbs-up

That looks superb! Excellent that you\'ve built it that wide properly, not just taken the easy way out with ridiculous camber to get the wheels in the arches. Not that you could camber out 355s very succesfully lol

[DC-TYPER]

could do with a lick of paint..........

Thumbs up :god

Keep the pictures coming!
