The grpB side skirts i made my self of a original GrpB rx7..


I have been a mechanic on a original mazda factory GrpB rx7 for several years, and also have the acess to all the GrpB parts for this car.
Which means that I've got the molds for the whole GrpB body.

Got 5 hours in the workshop today as well, starting to look like something that fits to the car now.

Started on the last finishing touches now before I'm gonna paint it and make a mold out of the bumper.

Might comming up with some more pics tomorrow..

Are you going to use a one-piece or two-piece mold?
