Rear Bumper

Removed the rear bumper and rear right fender. It's going to take some work getting things lined up properly, probably a lot of putty in my future.. :(

RWB Step one.. sawing...

This is my first conversion kit that requires sawing off body panels to fit replacement parts. I'll be honest here, i'm kinda just "winging it". I already can see that i'll have to do some repairs/filling and more cutting to make things fit right. It's kind of a pain, to be honest. I guess i've been spoiled by the way modern model manufacturers make everything so easy.

Here it is before anything has been done.


..and now, the side panels.


The front bumper.


Sawing off the fender, just like Nakai! Unfortunately, I still have 3 more fenders to go.. and the rear bumper, and the engine cover/wing. Not a bad start though!

Next!

Still finishing up The Stig, but this will be my next project.  I fell in love with Rauh-Welt Begriff Porsches within the past year, so I bought this conversion kit and a Porsche model to make my own. I'll never be able to afford a real one, so this is the best I can do..  More to come!
