what a nightmare but doesn't look like you have much to repair

 

[smoore]

what a nightmare but doesn't look like you have much to repair

true. although the airbags and seat belt went off too

Did I mention since it's in the shop there is going to be a Versus Scorcery wide body installed, that should delay things abit lol. It has all been ordered including the new wheels (Volk Te-37's in mecury silver) just a waiting game I guess.

Looks like you will be up and running in no time.

 

[smoore]

some quick pics of the body kit that arrived, came in a huge box!! lol

 

[smoore]

recent stop at the body shop looks like surgery lol

 

[smoore]

These are the wheels i just ordered (18/19)

Make sure you get the body repair manual for the frame rail. You can't cut it off where you have it. Hopefully that picture is just half way into your progress. I'm not sure about Florida but up here if you section a rail the car goes to Non Repairable (N/R) status until the whole frame rail is replaced. Looking at your black parts one you don't have the whole piece as the rail extends all the way into the passenger compartment. Have a look at the parts screenshot.

 

[shawn110975]

wow your kit looks bad ass. I like the carbon lip at the bottom of the bumper. dont worry if you need parts you know where i live LOL.

[shawn110975]

[myw]

[Dynamic-uzed-auto]

[ELIM]

Keep it up!

These are the wheels i just ordered (18/19)

How is the quality of the kit, the fenders and the carbon??

Looking good, best wheel choice, love the TE37.

some quick pics of the body kit that arrived, came in a huge box!! lol

 

[smoore]

Yeah that box was huge lol...
The wheels are going to be 19x10.5 +12 in the rear and 18x8.5 +22 in the front, I think, lol. I will have to check my papers... I do believe I will need 5mm spacers in the back and maybe more in the front.

The carbon fiber looks good, the shop will be doing the kit shortly. As for the other pieces we'll see when we try to install them and line things up... It looks like it could be a pain especially the front fenders but we'll see....

Build looks great, to be clear though, this is a Versus bodykit, not a Sorcery body kit.

Fitment will not be the same as Sorcery.

oh yeah well i guess it is the sorcery knock off:redface: hey can you help me with my gas door? :biggrin:

 

[smoore]

Just to clarify i bought the Versus kit which I didnt realize was a direct knock off from the Sorcery kit, so i'm assuming fitment maybe some issues.
So i will find out soon fingers crossed:redface:
sorry Kane:redface:

All welding has been done now (for the most part)
Body shop still has to do a couple of adjustments etc
The welds have been grinded and cleaned up and the jams have now all been cut in. Anyway here are a couple updated pictures for those that are intrested :smile:
Hood, headlights, radiator, condensor etc have all now been installed and filled with coolant, but the fenders are just sitting on the car.

 

[Soundeffects]

Looks good how is the fitment so far?
