Now I need some help from the fellow EG HB owners!
So, i was measuring the sides and i noticed that the rear left corner is "turning" inside whenyou follow it from the front to the back. I tested it comparing the side to the door. I cant confirm is this right, because i dont have door on another side of the car.
My explanations suck because of the bad english, so i took some pics to show what i mean:
When the door is closed, i took a straight piece of metal and put it beside the doors lower part to see if the straight side line continues from the door to the rear corner. .
If you look this pic, you see that the leveler is attached to the door, but when you follow the leveler to the rear there is a gap between the rear corner and the leveler.
I want to know if the straight sideline continues on the whole side! Can someone confirm that? I dont want any confirms from the cars that has been repaired from that particular part. I just want to weld my pieces perfectly to the factory look.
I´ve already done some other work. I fabricated some pieces, because i wasnt too happy about using the original puzzle metal sheets. It was pita to get the pieces right, but i think i got the job done pretty well.
Here is the front left, waiting for 262mm hubs and VTi lower arms:
And here is some arch test fitting
:
I also did new threads to my EG8:s old ASR pieces, that were destroyed by of the previous owner. I used the helicoil repair kit. Awesome tools. Absolutely must have! I´m testing the Skunk2 rep LCA:s and the ASR rep brace, mainly because they are dirt cheap. I´m not self destructive, so im not using the ASR copy backplates. Thats why i repaired the genuine ASR pieces.
Then i found some new parts in my carage. Leftovers from my SuperBlack.
Next i switched back to rear quarter.
Then i cut some pieces out that i dont need.
...And testfitted:
To get back to the original problem that i described on top of this post, please check the lower part line and also the side molding line. I mean that does rear corners side molding line continue straight when compared to doors side molding, or does the rear corner side molding start to turn inside from the back? Very hard to explain. Here is a bad example pictures:
Here is some pics taken from these fake Skunk2 LCA:s:
I´m gonna change the bushings to the genuine Skunk2. I know that they are crap too, but i think they will still be better than these copies.
