Looks awesome man! I bagged my car earlier this year and had a lot of fun doing it.

going to run a dual center exhaust setup.



made this exhaust opening/shield thing, will prob make a fiberglass mold if it and graft in into the bumper



Was helping my fabricator/welder mate over the weekend build his garage at his new house so he can start working on his project again; might make a few people moist







R31 wagon with a fully built twin turbo LS1, S13 front suspension (coilovers)/all brakes and all the fruit.
we shaved it and painted it a little over a year ago. Just needs to have the wiring finished (turns over atm)

have been trying to talk him into letting me design a roll cage for him but he doesnt seem to think he will need one.... oh and its still licensed to be driven on the road.

received a delivery for the next set of lower control arms


got my mate to weld them up for us this time


Have since been finished and painted gloss black.

stock set of upper control arms arrived so designed a way to modify them, keeping the same geometry, making them adjustable and so they also clear the rear axles so i should be able to get the rear lower.

this custom work is admirable, nice man!

cheers. its not exactly a common car to bag so have to think outside the box.


can anyone shed some light on having bump stops installed with bags?
atm when aired out the tyres are hitting the guards, but i was hoping to install slim bump stops (adjustable) so when aired out there's a 5mm gap between the tyre and guard, is this wise/possible?

Put some rubber/plastic bump stop rings over the shocks bodies, that way you can fine tune them by adding or removing rings but don't have to deal with other fabwork
I use them in my e36 to keep the wheel from hitting the fender, it works wonders

[willis6057]

cheers for the info.

played around with the shit box last night, managed to make some bump stop templates which i can then measure, design and get laser cut/fabricated. managed to get 8mm spacers installed in the rear, now the tyres don't rub on the inner guard when aired out, but i did notice that the lower control arm was hitting the frame/body, so will have to notch that. also threw a window banner on a couple weeks ago

no real updates, haven't had much time to work on it. Will be putting it up for sale soon though.
