Project Q

[Mknott4]

Some of you might have seen my post about parting this car out but i have decided i couldnt live with myself if i did such a thing... I have begun working on the finishing touches of the one off body of my 97 q45. In the pictures I will put up you might not think its that close to being done but if your looking at this you know what i started out with.... We (my roommate and I) cut the front and rear bumpers to shreads, saved a few features we liked and then built new bumpers from scratch that are molded straight to the body of my q45. As for the side skirts we took them off the car and used foam and a few other tricks we have to get them into somewhat of the shape we wanted them in. After they were at that stage we also molded them to the body of the q ( making them look right also meant modifying the lower part of the door as you see in the pics... After we finish the kit my q will once again become my daily driver as i move from MN to AZ to live/ attend autobody school. Maybe i can give the teacher a few tips lol....

I could've SWORN I'd seen this car for sale not long ago... eBay, I think. Wes was looking at it or something.

[Mknott4]

no it definetly wasnt on ebay, i did post it for sale on this forum as is but i have decided to finish it

[elwesso]

glad to see your finishing this car, I think youve done a great job!

[Mknott4]

I am thinking of getting all new wheels instead of replacing my two broken ones, i was thinking of these.... what do you gus think?

[Falkdesigns]

Do it, those are hotness, you car is going to be sweet! Are you going to do any suspension work?

[Mknott4]

i will be doing suspension work after i move to Arizona, i will most likely be using airbag suspension

[Mknott4]

I do like how yors sits Falkdesigns what exactly have you done with yours? I do think how ever if i was unable to lift from even the point you are at with the height of the bumper i have constructed I would be very limited to the driveways and parking lots i could pull into.

I have Tein S-tech's with KYB SR Special's.

I just made life more difficult for myself today, I installed my new Stillen front lip. I clear pulling out of my driveway by about 1 finger, and that's going at a hard angle, lol.
