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: 1995 Suzuki Swift GTI: 1993 Suzuki Swift Convertible: 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 car 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

I want to start with a pair of exterior rear-view mirrors, which will be (I think) not to big to start and practice with. Hope next post will be with some nice pics

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?
