Well, after sorting one daughters car (TP), I have started on the other daughters (TN) both wagons.

Anyhow, I have been sitting on a complete set of body kit, plus an extra 2 sections for the rear. I have cut and spliced one, so as to make the rear a complete fill. (I learned plastic welding when I worked in a panel shop) So far I have the front, both middle sides fitted and one complete rhs rear modified in length.

Now the kicker, I tried the rear and corner fittings for the rear bar. I find that the exhaust pipe cut away is in a different position from the rear bar to the skirt and that the shape of the bar is different on a wagon too a sedan. This makes fitting the rear end difficult.

Has anyone here done this, and if so what did you do?

If not, I guess my plastic welding is going to be tested as I am thinking that I will cut and shut the lower half of a sedan bumper and mate it to the upper half of a wagon bumper. Will also need to box out the numberplate cut away in sedan bar. Any thoughts here?

I know the obvious question is, "Why Bother?":nuts:. Well its a sort of therapy for me (PTSD), and I love my duaghter and she wants her car to be a little more unique and hell, it looks good when I have it all taped in place.

So, if anyone has an image or two of a wagon with full skirts, can you chuck em my way :happy:

Cheers all,

As far as I know this has never been done. Neo is the only one who has put a kit on a wagon, and he left the corner pieces and the piece with the exhaust hole off. There should be some pics in the post your ride post.

*cough* did it before him :P
The rear qtrs fit on but need to be extended by an inch and a half.
The rear bezel needs a complete rework to fit at all.

The GT wagon has the front lip and that is all I believe.
So, even adding sideskirts its a step up on the wagon, makes it look less like a boat.

sideskirts look awesome on the wagons! :)

Have you got any images of your wagon with the skirts setup??

Not sure about that inch and a half, more like a foot extension.
The rear bar skirt, my only real concern is the muffler outlet. On a sedan, they are six inches closer to the center of the car than on a wagon. Still working on it, but now with the sides on, it sure does look heaps better.

Dressing up the welds now, well over weekend anyhow :happy: and will try for some pic's although the forecast is for something wet coming out of the sky here.

Cheers,

Yep, pics attached

yeah, sorry, its not an inch and a half, dunno what I was thinking, closer to 5-6 inches.
But yeah.
I quite like the high rear, but I hate the fact the petrol tank shows.

Nice looking Wagon.

Love it when guys talk in feet and inches:gfight: It's like a secret code:gfight:

astron boy, rekon thats the first time iv seen pics of your wagon other than your avatar. is that stock height?

and do you have plans to do something with the rear bar?

I've got as far as Astron boys image, fitting onto a wagon. Now working on the rear quarter trims then the rear bar. Pics will come when they are on the car ;)

No, not stock height, lowered 30mm, but it's lifted a bit at the front due to the lighter engine now.
Also the low profile tyres make it looks taller.
The car is actually quite low in real life.

No plans for the rear bar, I like it the way it is.

By the way avatar is of my sedan ;)
