[Guest]

i fit the wide front guards this week as well. I need to get onto the sail plane tho..

Not looking that far away now Q, few more panels and once it gets a bit of paint on it, the look will be transformed.

Which wheels are you going to keep? I like the black ones on the back

 

[Guest]

Hey guys please can I ask for help in deciding front end now. Bonnet and front bar please.
i just don't know..
lim either running my cibies or a custom LED headlight similar to the Audi.

Please guys help me

Cibies!
You still want it to be recognisable as a Legnum and cibies look wicked.

Can't wait to see the rear with the lights on it.

 

[Guest]

I put them back in today and started on the sail plane but my iPhone 5 has shittiest battery life.......

anything, but the LED audi-look. To be honest, stock ones with projector mod looks fantastic to me.
in my lamps, i'm going to flock the black plastic, or paint it glossy black, to aquire more deep black color. this is the only thing those lamps are missing.

the bonnet just need a little vent, like this:

but without the middle tooth, and maybe not straight, but EVO-like V-shape hump.
BMW M-power hump with a vent?
Aston Martin DBS vertical vents?

To be honest, stock hood look best
Maybe this VIS one needs a little tune-up, like the hole moved to the front a little, and a bit narrower, subtel.

I personally would go with..

Cibies with dual projectors.
good aftermarket hood,
aggressive looking(ish) front bodykit. or a fl front bumper with dteks and the dolphin front lip.
pencil beam spotlights if going the dtek route.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the rear end kind of looks like a VE Maloo ute?

Looking mighty fine Q - so much awesome custom work here

 

[Oggie]

nope looks like rear end of a lada.

 

[Guest]

Hehe, we'll we all know why IF it looks like a maloo.. Holden got sneaky and stole the look from the Legnum that was around 16 years before its existence lol...

and the rear diffuser is Ferrari not Holden lol

 

[mills_88]

I showed my boss a photo of the diffuser you were using on this and asked him to ID it with no prior knowledge. And he got it first time, some people really know cars.

Updates time boys....

unfortunately images are jumbled and not in order. Sorry......
I thought I'd inform you all a little bit of behind the scenes I go regarding this project..
whilst you see all the forward progress you DONT see the rejected progress that is involved.

just to give you a quick insight into the sale plane and wing production, it started off with a shape in my head, so I apply foam to use and sculpt it to my liking.BUT the foam failed to work in favour.

next I then clearing my head ,thought of the word "Legnum" and a light came on. And I took the wing of my work hack Legnum

thats a joke picture lol..
back on topic

so I started chopping it up and pasting to see and get it to work.. But nope wasn't working good enough for me..

scratch head and start again. PAPER out and scissors(back to basics)
and remembering what I Invisioned whilst with failure attempt 2

and we have this!!!

If you look close enough you will see the back quarter light window shape in the quarter windows..

The side capping slots into the wing wich you can't see until I disassemble and weld up so basically I had to double skin everything round the wing.

the wing will bolt to the bulkhead
the side capping will bolt to the wing on the inside faces of the capping.
aswell as on the inside faces of the body areas.
so I can remove the capping and wing to replace or remove all windows

Tomorrow the LH side gets fabbed.

I thionk I just went on a trip to facepalm springs Florida , gonna be honest. its not doing it, imo.

 

[unclepaulie]

Way too thick I reckon Q. The oem commodore one is a winner

 

[Guest]

Yea after the weekend iv had another thought.. However I still think it's not good keeping the Holden windows shapes . BUT I think I'm going to attempt making a thinner cap this week and see how that looks..

 

[Guest]

Ok guys what do you think now?
i can't go any thinner due to window but it's way better IMO
