Thank you! It's not perfect by any means but i'm no expert! just wouldn't want to bodge or half-ass something on my own car though, especially not if i plan to keep it for a decent amount of time!

Ngl, cleanest gt86 build ever

[@DJHeroMasta]

Fuck yeah! This guy genuinely cares about his car/craftsmanship and his attention to detail shows it! I’ve seen far too many builds where dudes don’t close up the fender areas after cutting and it *kills* me! Even noticed when you touched up the rear with some red paint after drilling holes for the clean spoiler 😎. Great song selection too! You may not see me comment again any time soon but I’ll definitely be watching all of your vids as I absolutely love this car! You know it’s the one when you uncontrollably smile any time you see one on the road. The R35 was my dream car for years while growing up but it wasn’t until I discovered this affordable beauty that made me change my mind. (I still love ya though Godzilla!) Great work my guy! I’ll be looking forward to seeing more from you on future projects, tips, tricks, etc. Whether it’s this car or not, you’re solid! ✊🏾

[@SamwiseEXCL]

Thank you so much man! means alot! haha yeah I generally like to do things right the first time rather than do a bodge-job and have to revisit it later. An R34 GTR used to be my dream car but they're crazy money these days, I ended up falling in love with the GT86 when I first saw the rocket bunny kit so I figured i'd just build my own dream car!

[@travisstroodle2170]

Congrats on finishing the project. I had to zip forward to see if you ever lined up the duck tail on the rear right and it still looks crooked. 18:53 shows it. I am doing this soon and was wondering why you chose mount the rear parts in the order you did. still, most wouldnt notice. have a good one.

[@SamwiseEXCL]

Yeah i know what you mean it was a bit wonky back then, it lines up much better now with just a bit of wiggling. As only 1 bolt holds those side pieces of the spoiler on with the way i mounted them so they have alot of movement to them when loosened off. Personally I'm really not a fan of the quality and fitment of the liberty walk parts considering the cost of them.

[@travisstroodle2170]

@@SamwiseEXCL I have wondered that about all the wide body kits, the quality that is. Cause it is a lot of money, for what essentially is plastic. I guess you are paying for the cost of the mold as well. Glad you got her lined up, i see what you mean by it being only one bolt, which makes it able to move. Still a very cool looking car once you were done, but those BRZ or whatever are cool cars though. Congrats on the build. Thanks for making this content.

It is regrettable to call it a modified car. If you remodel it so far, it will be one work. This car should be called your collaboration with the Toyota GT86.

[@Sogias1974]

Were did you get the cit from?

[@gamerz8459]

Why did you sand it all? Like the inside lips of the parts

[@SamwiseEXCL]

The kit comes with rubber edging to hide any imperfections in the fitment of the kit, I didn't want to use it so instead decided to sand and fill in some areas to make the fitment fairly decent, i'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

[@epicinfrno898]

Getting all these parts fitted must be hella expensive

Hence doing it myself, the only thing it costs me is time! :)

[@xXPainRikudoXx]

what do you do with the headlight washer system? It probably won't work with the front apron or?

[@SamwiseEXCL]

No, it wouldn't work with the Rocket bunny front bumper. In this case I removed mine as it's not a legal requirement as long as they're fully removed here in the UK

[@tayten]

the part where the paper was put in the fender and taped off confuse me a bit. Was it used to figure how to seal it off? 14:01

[@SamwiseEXCL]

Yeah, because I decided to go for getting brand new sheet metal welded in compared to slicing up the original fender material and bending it in to place, etc etc we'd need a template to know exactly how best to fill the gap. So the paper/cardboard was used to make those templates, it definitely made it a much easier task when it came to making it out of metal as there was no guess-work involved :)

[@cachememory]

How does it drive afterwards?

[@SamwiseEXCL]

At first it was a bit darty but once I had it aligned properly it drive's fantastically. Not too dissimilar to stock, steering is perhaps a bit heavier feeling with the wider front tyres but I don't mind that personally. With stick power still (soon to be fixed!) it's pretty much impossible to get it sideways unless it's heavy rain or you're trying really hard to get it to kick loose but I don't mind that really so overall it has alot more grip!

[@Dave_Sweatshirt]

Does the stock grill mesh fit with the rocket bunny bumper or is that a custom one?

[@SamwiseEXCL]

It does not, the rocket bunny kit comes with some universal plastic grill mesh material to use

[@OGsoulreaper]

Im wondering couldnt he Just remove the rear diffuser or is that stuck on the bumper

[@salvare0004]

Yeah it's part of the bumper itself, like molded in to the same single piece of plastic, so there's no removing it unfortunately

What was the material you used to cover the wheel well?

For the most part I just cut down and re-used the original Arch Liner but I also added back to it with some Sheets of HDPE (durable thin plastic) and rivets. I need to probably re-do it and take me time with it a bit more but it's stopped my engine bay getting filled with gunk and my rear arches are fully undersealed anyway
