Swapping body parts!

Featured Replies

I recently went to the junkyard and got some new parts for the RX that I've been needing/wanting. Newest addition was all the vacuum stuff for the center diff, front fenders and an '86 front bumper. Got the bumper on today and started hacking apart one of the fenders today as well. Sorry about the crappy cell pics but my digital camera died at the first pic:-\ Enjoy!

Widebody conversion, woo!

I could smell wide body a mile away. And it wasn't mayonaise smell that gave it away either.:rolleyes: Should look nice.

Yeah I'm not going too extreme, just enough to make it look different and so I don't rub with some 17's. That and maybe some staggered offset rims too;)

just wear protection when swapping body parts :lol: that's gonna look pretty sweet if i don't say so myself.

Nice on the wide fenders.That should look Sweet when done :grin:

 

Is there any difference in the bumpers between the years?

'85 and '86 are shorter and the turn signals are flush with the bumper compared to the '87-'94 bumper. Here's the difference...

'85 style

'89 style

if I could get a sedan with that bumper I'd rock it hard.

I'm at a creative block currently. Everytime I look at the rear quarter, I get lost on how I should cut it to widebody it out. I'm gonna get pissed:mad:

If using the 85 Bumper will the RX front bodykit/Valance still fit on there correctly?

yep. I'm running an '85 front bumper on my loyale with the body kit.

 

 

 

keep up the good work. can't wait to see what you end up doing on the back.

I was just looking at some mitsu starion pictures and though that would be the perfect way of making a wide body on a XT

 

I know you're not working on an XT, but see it as a source of creativity
