Hello there,

Let me first introduce myself and after that my great hobby. I'm Stefan, 21 year old and I live in Ridderkerk, a town near Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and in daily life I'm a project employee at a quite large fruit and vegetables company.

That's it for me, about my hobby I have a lot more to tell. I'm eager for all kind of cars, but at the moment especially Suzuki, a few pics of my current cars:

My current project, 1997 Subaru Justy:

For the people that do not know: a Subaru Justy is actually a 4wd Suzuki Swift with 68 horsepower. I'm converting this to a (streetlegal) 4wd Suzuki Swift GTI Turbo track carBigGrin which will have at least 180 horsepower.

Obviously I want the trackcar to be as light as possible, so I will strip the complete interior of the car and put a lightweight seat in to it. And ofcourse (otherwise I wouldn't be here) I want to make as much parts I can out of carbon. 

I hope to find a lot of information here about carbon and other composites, already watched the tutorials and especially the one about the carbonfibre hood was very nice!



Greetings,
Stefan

Long time no hear, but now I want to order the first stuff to start with creating my cf parts!

I want to start with exterior rear-view mirrors, because they are not that big and I have plenty mirrors in stock that I can use.


But first some advice from you guys what to buy, I was thinking of making a mould with the Mould making starter kit and then make the carbonfiber part with the Laminating starter kit. What do you think?
