On the huge list I'm forever adding to, marked 'to do' I have 'make a set of front guard moulds.'
I have a set of guards in perfect condition, that I will be giving an A1 paint job and then take a professional mould from, using zero shrink tooling resin. This will mean I will be able to produce high quality guards in fibreglass, requiring minimal preparation for paint. I am curious to know how many of you fellow Mighty Boy enthusiasts would be interested in purchasing a left, right or set of guards. At this early stage, I won't know what they will cost until I have actually made the moulds and produced the first part. Watch this space.

What kind of styles are you looking at?
I'm wanting to go for 07 Wrx styled front to pump them out a bit. Not sure to go for metal modification, or a moulded flare bonded on..

At this point I'm just planning on taking a mould off standard, unmodified guards.

The concept is tempting, the budget has however lost the required elasticity. Mine could use a bonnet as well as guards - for now I will be increasing my panel repair experience by making patches & welding them in.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..

id would be interested too if the price wasnt to high. im looking at doing lot of mods to the 2 im about to get and if wheels dont fit, fibreglass might be easier to modify and flare... plus i like the commodore vented indicators. which wouldnt be to hard to put in as well. so yeah, im interested
