Dont know if it was ever finished. I think the person who started it sold it off? It was looking pretty good though if I remember right.

EDIT: Im thinking of an FD body kit that was being put on an FB. Not a stock FD body mold put onto the FB. Is that what you are talking about?

puna rotary

yeah it was a fd body kit.......hmm yeah it looked pretty nice.

shame he didn't finish it .

so dose anyone have a link or something to the thread ?

i did it because my car was so rotten i was just going to junk the shell but i thought i would mess around with it .


i didnt want to buy a body kit so i just pulled molds off my dads car....it was way cheaper ans im just going to modify them to how i want them to look ...

the cool thing is im shaving alot of weight off the car this way ..........i have a set of weigh scales so im going to weigh the car after to see how much weight im cutting

i rember he got a offer from some place to make a mold of his car so he could have it fully out of carbon fiber, they where only going to give him a small discount on it and he would not get any thing from any of the kits they sold. if you do this id be down for buying some parts.

iTrader: (2)

damn he didnt sell his car!!!
i knew it...

puna rotary

wow it looks good.........so he kept it ...yeah ....

now i feel like a copy cat.....but i started this a while back before i seen this one..

well yeah im doing it different with the fenders im not molding the front fender back to the body by the door....in stead im letting it stick out and have it act like a huge vent .....

im done with the front now i just have to copy the back of the fd so i can make a mold ....

but im good on the work ,thanks for offering the help

ill let u know as soon as i finish the car ......ill upload some pix when i get some time

let me know when you make another set of molds!
are you on oahu?

Lil Red Resurected From Dead

Yeah I have to second that on the molds I would love my 79 to be an SA/FD Hybrid Monster I love the look of the 3rd gen but not the reliability of it but I love the reliability of the 1st gen so the two worlds clashing is the most awesome thing I can think of 1st gen body converted to 3rd gen body with 12a bridgeport = big smiles!!!

I need some pics...

In japan they convert the front FD'S to Porsche 911 turbo models...And those look pretty nice...

Im sure this will be the opposite and also look nice as well

iTrader: (3)

Are you sure you don't mean Porsche 928's or 944's? I can't imagine the front of an RX7 as a 911...

Rotofire

No, he meant a 911

TheRX7Project

iTrader: (3)

I was thinking 1st gen, not 3rd. I see.

EDIT: failed to read "FD"

Rotofire

haha, it's all good.

Damnit NOOO!!!

I work far too much for you guys to be planting these cruel ideas of
awesomeness(?) in my head. You realize now that youve condemned me to countless hours and what money i dont have to creating an animal such as these?!

oooh but wouldnt a 911 FB be friggin awesome. too bad i cant afford the 911 parts. . . or can I??? Thats it im asking for a raise!!

Props to all of you masterconvertermen on the sick things that you've created. Keep up the excellent work and keep posting new pix as time goes on. This is turning out to be a sick and twisted type of ****.

wow what would a 911 front on a fb look like... seeing as the slantnose porsches look almost like an fb.
damn got me thinking about all the crazy things i could do to my fb lol.
haha a guy put a s15 front on his saturn and at first i thought it was a s14.5 or s13.5 but i looked at the back damnnn all that work for a crappy saturn...clean conversion though.

Ogre

See another victim of this glorious epidemic! It must be stopped. . . or
It should be praised and now im going to be even more broke then i am already. Thanks guys for steering me to a happy misery.


*Note the sarcasm in a good way*

puna rotary
