I scored myself an ok condition vertex style bodykit off a guy on carsales, who had sold his 86 but had it left over. I think he is also a member on either one of the forums quoccy i think, not quite sure?
So the condition of the kit wasn't in the best state but that was easily fixed when i took it to trade school.
It's been that long that i think i used 80 or 120 grit to sand down the front, because the black paint was that layered on.
After sanding it down i started high filling, guide coating, left it to dry over night then sanded it back down with 320 grit. Then i gave it 2 coats of high fill again.
Done with the front bar and looking good as new.
Sideskirts finished.
The rear bar was definitely a big challenge because when i went to pick the bodykit up, he gave me 3 pieces he had cut out for the muffler tip to come out. I had to mold the pieces back into the right spots and made sure it was perfect.
.. just like solving a jigsaw puzzlea pain in the arse but i got it done
Once the pieces were back in the right places, i started putting fiberglass sheets to hold the pieces together. Then after i used fiberglass filler to get it smooth and back to the original form. Lastly, plain filler was added to get it properly shaped.
WOLAHH i finished it!!!
