#1st Build Thread~ #1 Only Custom Design and Made by me
Hi
I'm from Australia, Sydney. this would be my first ever build thread of my work.
My design and style of this wide bodykit might not get many people interested, some might like it and some might hate it (think its ugly).
(3 years ago): foam and aluminium foil tape ( this early stage do look ugly because i dont spent much time working on it. only few hour during weekdays at night and weekend)
the front~
the rear and side~
(2 years 8 months ago): body filler
the front~
the rear and side~
continues on....

Dang, Very nice work! did you use foam block for the whole kit or pour foam too?
I'm very curious to see the finish results. It looks like you trimmed down the height of the front end from the first renditions? Originally it looked too bulky up front but looks better now
I'll be in the same boat next month... except trying to do it all within a few weeks!

I didn't use foam block for the whole kit, I cut out the foam to pieces and glue it together with clear gum glue which don't melt the foam.
cutting it and glue it which took a lot time but I get the correct measurement as I move along on the process.

I think HARD2B shows some serious skills and effort to have someone come inside his build thread and basically call him a liar and an *******.
"the help" -- "yea custom craftsmanship is cool and all" Custom craftsmanship is cool and all....WTF?? You sound like the *******.....and a jealous kid.

Why do you say he didn't buy them? Because he didn't tell you? Do you know something that this thread isn't conveying? So WTF if he didn't or if he never does. This obviously isn't an internet dreamer build thread like so many wantabes on here.

LOL jealous..yes I am so jealous that I can't afford wheels that aren't suited for the track or anything else really. When you buy wheels like that you buy them for street cred not for increasing the performance aspect of an FD3S. Even the McLaren P1 doesn't have wheels like that and that car is north of $750k.
Custom body is great and all, making up a story 2 years ago only to not post up the results isn't.
