I remember this car from its previous owner. I have to congratulate you on this transformation. You have some skills man! What a great colour and amazing attention to detail. Can't wait to see this finished project one day. Nice work 👍 Jon

Nice project thread and your car is looking very good. Keep up the good work.

I think a well done Ducktail spoiler would look awesome on a wide-arched Vx, even moreso if you had a coupe panel

 

any examples of spoilers that people think would suit would be great, i have painted the exige spoiler so can go on but at the min holes are smoothed over

 

 

 

I won't start filling the thread with images but this link is a good example of which car made me appreciate a classy ducktail spoiler and had made me consider how it would look on a VX:

Granted the Datsun 240z has a different profile to the VX and as I said I think it would work best with a coupe rear however as you can see its very subtle and similar to the standard Turbo spoiler but just adds that nice flare that would work well with the new arches on your car. Of course all of this is just on an aesthetic level rather than for function.

[Wreelybro]

Yup the 240z!!

 

Interested to see what the duck-tail spoiler will look like on a VX.

As horrible as it does on the Datsun. HTH

[flamingcorsa]

I think like u say with a coupe rear a duck tail would suit it really well, will see how the car looks when it all back together

[smiley]

Scubadaddy did a duck tail.

Just never finished

[flamingcorsa]

Just messaged a company that do a ducktail for mx5 to find out dymentions to see if that could be modified to fit.

[stu8v]

Reckon it would be good.

 

Very 037 esq

 

[flamingcorsa]

I was looking at this, and make it fit

[smiley]

edel-car-parts has a tubby spoiler that's made little bigger.

 

Just in case the ducktail does not work out.

[flamingcorsa]

got few more jobs done last night :-

 

fitted splitter

 

 

fitted fuel cap

 

 

indicators were clear so flatted them back

 

 

and coated them in couple of coats of lacquer with drop of black in it to smoke them but they are still transparent to see the light through

 

 

got front clam on

 

 

 

[flamingcorsa]

Nice and quick turn around there

[The Batman]

Looks awesome how much as I guess you're Gonna sell it?!

[Rudy]

That's one hell of a quick project thread. Absolutely stunning turnaround. What's been the cost? Kept it under budget?

Not sure wot to sell, don't really want to sell this one tho to be honest after all the time I have out in on it, unless someone wants to give me loads of money for it, hahaha

Well biggest costs in the project were clutch and hardtop, without those it would have been done to a fairly low budget really. Just lots and lots of man hours, dread to think how long I have spent. Still lots to finish also

[A.C.oral]

As modified vx's go, that looks great. I'm impressed in your motivation to get it done so quick too.
