Default Fraud RS200

A couple of years ago (at the same time as moving house) I decided to buy myself a panel swap kit which will turn a mk3 MR2 into an RS200. Just thought I'd share a few photos of what I've been up to. I'd originally hoped to have it finished or at least driveable by this coming summer but with house decorating and the impending arrival of Scruff junior in May this might have been a little ambitious.

How it started:



Panels removed:





Resting the new body on the car:







In work photos:







Decided it needed an eco roof scoop



Made an exhaust



How it looks at the minute:

Use flikr or the tapatalk app is good for adding images straight from your phone

Another vote for Flickr here! Easier to use and better image quality than Photobucket.

Interested to see more on this build. Its going to take a couple more years of saving, but my current plan is to sell my Subaru and buy a 4WD Evo200 kit.

Big update for me this time around. Not big as in loads but big as in is a big bit of the car that I was worrying about - the clam, and making it hinged. Its actually worked much better than expected. I'll let the pics do the talking.







Couple of things left to finish this bit. Firstly, the box section is held onto the hardtop with a bolt and a couple of massive washers. Ideally, i'll get a length of stainless on the inside of the hardtop then put a couple more bolts through it to reinforce it and spread the load a little.
I'll need a bonnet stay type thing to hold it up as I don't want to have to drive everywhere with a couple of lengths of wood on the roof just in case I need petrol.
I've also found that the clam will actually go higher than this if I adjust the rose joints slightly but its flipping heavy, and that was without the window!
Lastly, I've been looking at twin electric rams to do the lifting but its not something I actually 'need' so will have to wait.

I have a question in case anyone on here might know the answer. I want to paint the underside of all the fiberglass parts black. Is there any particular type of paint I should use? Or can I just slop a bit of hammerite on there?
