Cladding chop finished at last

I'm not sure but I think it is, it's not named on any of my documentation. I was thinking of respraying to metallic black.

That ain't Foxfire red, I think that is more like the JDM red color.

Nice looking VX!

Just a few more shots showing a bit more detail. I could have done a better job getting rust off the chassis but got impatient.

great idea for a street driven VX..

if you offroaded a lot like that i think you would definately break some parts there on the corners

What did you use to make this part? It looks seamless.

Sorry but I thought raising the suspension 3", switching tires to gain another 1" (approx), raising the lowest point of the front cladding 2" and the safari bar 2" plus all the cladding and steel removal on the corners would kinda improve offroad ability or am I missing something

After cutting away the cladding I used expanding foam to build up the back of the cladding, cut it to shape and then covered it with a few layers of GRP and finally sanded it flat. I also had to fill in the corners of the indicator detents as I didn't want to cut the front section too thin.

I'm suprised no one's asked about the reworked grill as that was the hardest part (amount of work), removing the hexagon design and replacing it with the mesh.

So... what about that...



Honestly your work is subtle and done so well that it's hard to pick up on all the details. I wish you would have taken pictures of the process where you built up your new side pieces with foam and then re worked it...

It looks amazing.

Very good job!
