[IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/firelizard2/tsuraichi004.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE="1"] I've been working on this for about 4.5 hours off and on tonight. By the time I go to bed tonight, it will be able to spin freely with the entire tire tucked.[/SIZE]
damn.... more pics now!
woah looking good! keep us updated.
Sweetness!!!
B E A Utiful! Every time I see a protege on the road I think of your car.
mannnnn that is some rediculous fitment. i bow down to thee.
Firelizard! That's TIGHT! Mind to share the secrets of your fender mods? PM would do to. Thanks man.
lol i was expecting some lizard pic.
^^^:smiley-rofl:me too.
but its not a platform... :smiley-rofl:
Congrats on the fitting, but I still don't know what the hell you drive....more pics please!
ohh snaps, looks crazy.... Just make sure you round out those fenders, looks like its got some nasty waves.

Thanks guys :) [quote]Just make sure you round out those fenders, looks like its got some nasty waves.[/quote] Yeah, I have lots more work to do as far as that goes. That's the problem with rusty fenders.... alot of the metal was weak and compromised in places, causing it to buckle in places. Plus I don't have any metal working experience so I made a lot of mistakes. It took some really ghetto measures to get that much done. Filling dips and waves is the easy part though.

That's because he said UserTITLE, not userNAME. LOL. WE DEMAND MORE PICTURES! or banned. I mean it. I'll get you banned. I'll go up to Canada, take pictures of your car, then ban you from the forums by ripping your computer out of your wall. Just post up the pictures. "We're the Mafia, and crime don't pay" (LOL who knows who said that?)
you know exactly what im going to say cause I say it everytime you make a little progress. ABOUT FREAKIN TIME MAN! :signdammit: :biggthumpup:
Well, I don't wanna get banned now, so... [img]http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/9111/lotsofworktodotb4.png[/img] lol @ the messed up lip. It's funny what progress looks like. I kinda like the little flip up near the front part, I thought about doing the whole edge like that, with the Origin Tatakidasi style.
Anxiously waiting... coming along man. Keep doing your thing.
wooo kinda looks like my attempt..props for trying buddy....
I don't have any new pics, but I can tell you that it's awesome. It's pretty much safe all the way to about 15-20mm above the lip, which is the most I can forsee the suspension getting compressed unless I hit a bump too hard. I wish I could ride lower, but it's not really possible, because the wheel well itself, which is not malleable metal curves pretty sharply near the edge. Managed to get the edge pretty much even too, and it will have a little lip kinda like Agim's fenders, but more subtly rounded. I'm pretty excited about it now, except for the fact that I have to do the other side now :P
Looks pretty good so far, i love the fitment & the color of your car. SILVER FTW.

"And so I'm stabbin' him with the Ice Pick and it breaks off, so I ask Johnny Salami, i says 'What do i DO?!' he says 'I don't know, wait for it to melt!' wah wah wah wah.....aye rich you ok?" :smiley-rofl: EDIT That Protege is sick! Very nice fitment there man! Good work on making the fit!
I'm kinda disappointed now... my painted fixed the bodywork but smoothed out the little lip, and the body line, so the rear quarter lacks character imo But because it was rusty and really, should have just been scrapped, I will start working on some actual flares after I've enjoyed my car looking decent for a bit.
Ride height looks good man! Any better pictures of the body work?
i like the first pic, lookin good. by any chance did u paint your door handles? imho thatd set it off
Ride height isn't that low unfortunately. I could do the rear that low, but the front can't physically get lower, the axle is in the way. I don't have more bodywork pics unfortunately, I was too busy actually doing it! I'll have some pics of the end result this weekend though. And yes, I did have the door handles painted this time =)
