My latest project

Post by dropdfocus »

My friend Andrea is having her 22T swapped '98 Impreza repainted. She asked if I could make her husband's RB style wing from his '02 WRX fit on her car. Of course I said yes, and here's my progress so far (removed 3" to make it work):

I removed 3" from the middle to make it the correct size. Next up is expandable foam setting up over night. In the morning, I will be inserting four 1/4" threaded rods into the foam with 2 part epoxy to hold them all very still. Then I'll sand down the center to lay out 3 layers of fiberglass matting. Once that is all set, sand smooth and pass over to be repainted.

Yep, and she calls me "sweetheart" & I'm the "other man" in her life. :-D We've all been friends for many years & joke around quite a bit, although she is cute... :twisted: (...and I'll have been married for 12 yrs in November too)

UPDATE:
Wing is back together thanks to many ounces of resin being poured into the center of the wing to mate up with the styrofoam & the threaded rods. Yes, I ended up using styrofoam because I purchased a bum can of spray foam. I think the density of the styrofoam was actually better in the long run.

Now it's just filling in cracks & chips with resin & duraglass (body filler w/ fiberglass strands mixed in). Sand smooth and give it back to be painted. Pics to come very shortly.

No, I said cute... Hot & cute are two totally different things. :mrgreen:

Hot = single
Cute = married

Well, with threaded steel rods inserted inside, it will definitely set off a few metal detectors... :lol:

My apologies guys! I've been super busy with both work & vehicle repair lately (wife's '98 LGT, my new '92 LSS, my '85 Chevy C-10, and my '80 Kawi 750)!!!

Here's some recent photos of my work/skill:

I know I should not ask a stupid question, but why did she not just but one of the RB5 wings for an Impreza? I know where they can be had for a good price?

Because her husband wanted to go wingless and she always liked his wing. So that's why it happened that way.

WOW! Very impressive Jason!

Good work. That'll look like it came straight from the factory once it gets painted!

I enjoy making things fit that aren't suppose to and make it look like it belongs there. :mrgreen:

The wing is currently being cleaned up & painted by another good friend of theirs (head painter at a local car dealership's body shop).
