cmgogo Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 done this twice, just with an eg Step 1 put sol fenders onto the car, in mid arch cut straight down with a thin cutting blade. step 2 cut pretty close to mid arch with the teggy fender, and slide it UNDER the rest of the sol fender that is still attached to the car and cut the teggy fender where they meet up step 3 butt weld the 2 pieces together, lightly tacking in 1inch incriments, use a flat head screwdriver to pry the panels into shape as you tack weld them step 4 weld the seam step 5 grind flush step 6 body filler/ sand/ glaze/ sand then prime paint and viola. ill put up some pics the first sol is teh first eg front i did, did it all in a weekend and the 2nd one i did that is my current DD Still need to finish the antenna delete, finish trimming the fenders (the arches for the conversion car sit 1/2 lower usualy, youll have to grind them to match the arch), glaze again, then strip, fill all the dings in the car and paint. You need anymore help feel free to shoot me a pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMB16A-DELSOL Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 so as u see i have a gap an not to sure on how to fill it. cause i have tried to rase the front of the fender but closed the back so even if i put the front of the tegy fender on i will still have a gap... i am stuck on this last touch as u can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 hood doesnt look right either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 looks like the entire bumper is too high all around. like you need to bring it down a couple inches. and of course nothing is going to line up correctly. your putting the wrong panels on the car. you are going to have to get creative with the welding and filler to pull it off.

cmgogo Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 pics of the teggy coresupport? I think you are off on the placement of it, bumper is up too high, also which hinges are you using? You do realize the hinges need to be custom fabbed right, or atleast heavily moddified. But i am pretty sure your big error is the core support.

JDMB16A-DELSOL Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 i put it dam ner right where i took the delsol ones off an the bumper is at the same hight from ground as it was on the tegy too.. an no i didnt know i had to use custom ones i just drilled out the tegy ones to fit hood.. an it looks off cause that dam weather striping on the front is comming off...

cmgogo Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 take some better pics for me, close up of the hood open, fenderlines, bare support, etc, because something is REALLY off. Did you compensate for the drop off on the fenderlines? teggys have pretty much a straight fenderline, where as teh sol has a declining fenderline, that might be your issue, the only way to fix it is to take the donors fenderline and add to the sol's fenderline.

JDMB16A-DELSOL Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 and it may look higher too cause i have the coilovers all the way up past stock hight cause of haven it on an off the ground so they dont move around in the springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMB16A-DELSOL Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 well if i would put a tegy fender up on the car it would line up perfect like dam ner spot on. but wont fit the door so i was thinging maybe cut the back an not the front like u did use like 90% of the tegy fender an the 10%of the back sol fender? but like u said they dont match up good in the centers cause the sols carve an the tegys flatnes... so i wonder how the back would line up??

JDMB16A-DELSOL Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 hahah im really hopeing i didnt f this all up cause that would be a crapy deal lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 the body lines wont match up if you cut the fenders that way, im telling you something is wrong with how you have it set up. Get me the pictures i asked for and i am sure I could tell you whats wrong. After all ive done 2 egs and helped out with an ek and a itr conversion (itr and ek look like ass imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMB16A-DELSOL Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 ok i will i will get them tomorrow or the day after cause i dont have any right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 having the core support and bumper at the same height and alignment as the teg is incorrect. your car is a del sol. you need to test fit the fenders on, put the hood on and adjusted it to line up with the fenders, then test fit the bumper to figure out where to weld the core support on. I hate being the bearer of bad news but I'm betting a dollar that you need to start completely over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
