Does anyone have templates for drilling the holes for the rear quarter peices and the holes for the rocker peice at the back and on the fenders. If i had templates it would make it alot easier i need to do this next. Thanks

 

I dont have any templates or anything, but when I did mine I used the new pieces to find out where to drill. Just mock fit it, have someone hold it, and use a permanent marker to mark through the holes (so it leaves a dot where you need to drill). Everything fit perfectly using this method.

 

hmm ok i figured since the bolts are on a angle where they initially hit would be different from when u pushed them in all the way but the hole is a lil bigger from the factory. Ok ill give it a go

 

I found Crazy's way to work well too. If no one is there to help, you can just put a little paint on the end of the studs so they will mark where to drill on their own. If you don't want to do it that way, making the templates isn't hard.

 

Thanks guys

 

On the door peices did you guys just have to redrill the end holes? The 3 center holes seem to line up but i can tell cause i cant close the door. I got the holes drilled in the body wasnt to much of a pain they are higher up and closer to the rear almost to much to the rear cause ur on the edge of the access hole when u tighten them.

 

On the door filler pieces, I believe I had to elongate some of the holes.

 

the only ones that dont line up are the 2 end holes with the cap nuts. The other will go in but they still might not be in the right spot.

 

Are you talking about the sideskirts? When I installed the 91-92 Sideskirts on my 89 RS I had to cut off some of the body to get the sideskirt to fit flush. When you take the stock sideskirt off you'll see the metal piece I'm talking about. It runs horizontal to the car and runs the entire length of the door. It just needs to be trimmed down a bit like 1/4 inch on the rear edge. The front part of the sideskirt (by the front fenders) fit nice, but the rear (by the rear 1/4 panel) had a gap. Once I got that part cut out / shaved down it fit flush the entire way.

 

Just use double sided tape

 

Yeh it does sit out a tad but i was talking about the door peices.

 

hmmm thats odd. Just for the heck of it one night i put my 91-92 gfx on my 88 iroc and they bolted right up with no problem.

 

Maybe they made a 90 different I dunno.

 

Ok got some pictures for everyone I know the detail on the conversion isnt the best.

This first pic is the pass side behind the rear wheel the holes without the black are the new holes I made a template off a junk yard car.


This is also a pic behind the rear wheel on the driver side sorry a lil blurry. The hole closest to the front is almost in the right spot just have to elongate it a lil with a file and the rear hole is totally different. I reversed the same template for this side.


Pass side rocker fitted up you have to do a lil mod for this ill show. For the hole on this side ill get a pic later but I made a template off the ground effect peice.


Here is where you have to cut like so thanx to Crazy I noticed this.


The reason to trim that peice is shown here cause how it gets narrow at the back.


Heres the rear of the fender i havnt got these drilled yet cause i might get 91-92 fenders later but the red dots are close to where the holes need to be.


And finally heres the front of the fender the rounder holes are for the old gfx and the slots are for the 92 style.I had also made a template for this off my sisters 92 when she still had it. On the body I will be welding in all the old holes my car is a work in progress right now.


As for the door peices well Ill get pics later but i havnt got to them yet. I hope this helps some people.

 

I just went with the 91-92 fenders, easyer and safer then drilling holes if i screw up. Just make sure before you take off your old finders that your doors are exactly where they need to be (meaning if they have drooped over the years). If they have, your new fenders wont go on right and yourll be screwed just like me

 

Yeh my doors are good the fenders take alot of adjusting sometimes.
