May 2, 200421 yr just wondering, do you think it would be possible to graft a mitsu eclipse body kit onto a 1986 rx? i know i would have to cut and bend the fenders to fit, prolly be wider at the bumpers. im asking cause i found a perfect body kit on some ricer eclipse at a junk yard, the kit doesnt even have a scratch on it, my guess is that the motor went on it. but do you think it would be worth the time? it would be kinda cool to see a rx with a modern twist to it. i prolly shoulda took pics of the car.
May 2, 200421 yr My guess is that you're gonna have to cut the bumper to make it narrower. Cutting will be required, and lots of bondo or fiberglass.
May 3, 200421 yr Author yay for bondo!!!!!, hey it could work though, i dont know where i would get the $ for it though
May 3, 200421 yr I say go for it! If you don't like it, just put the factory bumper back on and sell the kit to some dope for his 91 civic or something!
May 4, 200421 yr Anything is possible!.....especially if you happen to have a sawzall and bulk supply of duct tape!
May 5, 200421 yr Author hurray for duck tape and bondo, w00t!!i think i should go for it, but first, who wants to make a donation?
May 10, 200421 yr I've been thinking of adapting either a 'Lude or Supra kit to my XT... the 2nd gen (88-91) 'Lude has a kit by Kaminari that is identical to the one Kaminari used to make for the XT (but the bumper cutout is on the wrong side). Supra skirts fit an XT without cutting, so I figured a 2nd gen Supra kit would work also. Depends on which is cheaper, lol.
May 10, 200421 yr Author hey, let me know how that turns out, i wouldnt mind seeing something like that.
May 10, 200421 yr not to hijack the thread but i have a new Kaminari kit waiting for an owner to take off my hands. i figure it might be easier than fabricating one. if anyone is interested, mail me at: subarueast@yahoo.com
May 10, 200421 yr give me your e-mail address and i'll send one out. i can't seem to post any more pics on here, something about going over my quota. I'll looking to get $250 ish for the kit. kit is located in NJ. thanks
