Countach fiberglass body (Page 1/1)
Mathiathan AUG 22, 12:11 PM
Hey guys I'm new here and had a question about kit cars. I've seen a bunch of countach replicas going for sale on places like ebay and it gave me an idea. I want to either buy one or get a fiero and turn it into a replica countach and put offroad wheels and tires on it so I can get it dirty. I think it would be funny. Does anyone know where to buy a fiberglass body or body parts for the project? I know some people have to stretch the frame, but are there any that don't require that? I've seen the prova kit, but I was trying to find something cheap since I'm not too worried about it looking as nice as possible. Any info would be helpful!

Go over to Lamboclone to ask if anyone is selling a body. You can find them cheap occasionally. The non- extended version is less common.

If you plan on just creating a junk looking car, then it shouldn't cost you too much. If you actually want a decent looking and functional vehicle when it's done, then be prepared for a long, expensive road ahead.

I will leave this here for inspiration. No mine, don't know anything about it.

I have seen a 308 raised as an offroader only a few months ago here.

The easiest way to tell a stretch from a non-stretch is 1: on non-stretch the windshield is usually flat. 2: on non stretch there is a vent made into the front of the rear tire flare.
The anniversary issue has a sort of vent made into the rear flare but it`s different.

Stretch:

Non-stretch

Unless you have loads of time on your hands, I would advise not going with a Fiero kit car body. Typically 100's of hours of labor are needed to fit, assemble and finish a complete kit car . Often these projects go abandoned but you may find one like this already in process.
