This is a sweet build. I'm drawing a lot of inspiration from this for my AE82 project. It won't look as clean as this, but it makes me more determined to pay more attention to detail. Not a lot of people can appreciate how much work goes into something like this. I certainly can't. No one can fully appreciate it until you have done it for yourself! :happy: I can't wait to see her on the loose! Probably not in person. Maybe on video? :wink: Stew.

I was thinking that too. If I could get a few molds done if I got a bit of interest. Only question is price. If it's 'over the top' pricing i.e. more than $300, I probably won't bother. In that case I will try and make do with the one I have. If that's how it goes, I'll want to paint it to fix the cracks and paint it to match the car. Is there any way to 'seal' the rubber for painting? What do you guys recommend to permanently seal the cracks? Is it worth the hassle? Stew.

Hi guys, Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but I'll give it a shot; Howdy, So, I had a good day at the wreckers today. I managed to pickup an original Toyota AE82 front spoiler for $30. The downside is, it's pretty shagged. There is splits at each corner and someone attempted to screw it back together (fail attempt). So as my idea goes; Perhaps I could mold it and make a fiberglass replica. The two things going against me are, I have NO fiberglass experience at all, AND the spoiler is made of rubber (thus making it hard to mold, as I would imagine). I'm keen to make this work for my project car, and it will be the perfect touch for the front end. If you reckon I should give it a go, give me as much info as possible. I've had a look on youtube, but it can be confusing. What do you say? 1. Give it a go! 2. No way dude... Get a pro to do it. 3. Other suggestions. If you do know of a good (reasonably priced) body works, let me know! Cheers, Stew. Here's some pictures FYI;

Nice going mate. I'm currently rebuilding my AE82. May turn it into a bit of a track car... This is a nice bit of inspiration!
