yep....... i wasted alot of time with the foam idea .....but it was really fun to rip off the car...lol
yeah im doing the back ...i havent pulled a mold of the fd yet ....just waiting to finish the last bit of the front...
but the back is going to be wide like the 3rd gen and its going to start to taper down from the start of the back of the door ........then go flush with the stock body on the front .....so the fender sticks out making a mean looking vent ...
ill get pics ,im waiting on my new 12 mega pixel camra o come in .=)
but yeah my engines running strong still ........im swaping the weber carb off for a throttle body and going with fuel injection so i can run higher boost ..
yeah u should swap a 13b turbo in ........it makes the car a completely different car to drive.....=)

I dont know about you guys but...
you know what would be better than a FB that looks like a FD?
a FD that looks like a FB, man it would be sick to take advantage of all the aftermarket suspension bits and drivetrain bits from a third gen but still have old school styling.
