Dude,

 

A question about the rear arches....

 

Do you cut back the original arch to a point near the blend area and then bolt the arch on, or do you leave the "old" arch as it is and simply bolt the new one on-top? If so would that not leave a nasty 2nd wheel arch a couple of inches under the new outer one?

 

Can't wait to see this finished. Am looking forward to good deal on the "package price" paul mentioned. ;)

 

Regards

Hi dude

Sorry i missed your call was away racing and occasionally being a dumb ass left my mob at home.

Speak with you soon about my project as im still drawing a blank in the midlands to find a bodyshop i trust to do the work.

Most of my project parts are on there way so i need to get someone sorted very soon or i'll be supraless for most of our summer if we get one that is.

Regards

cheers bobbeh, yeah its flying by, but every nice sunny dry day (like sunday) feels like a kick in the teeth not being able to cruze in the supe.

Still ill be back next summer,

 

dunk, im guessing youve discovered dudes lack of space in his PM box like me,

Moth balls removed and Project wideboy will be coming to a conclusion !!!!! If Al can EVER decide on a colour , he's getting 2 choices this week , and we reckon the original Lambo purple will look the part but the final choice is his (unless i just do my normal and choose myself !!! :eyebrows: )

 

heres some progress pics , when the rear wings go on we need to gut the arches out so that clearance is there for the wider wheels but the 2 skins need to be joined together and then in turn joined to the new wing so that the whole lot is sealed as much as possible , the cavity between the new wide wing and the old normal wing will be filled with expanding foam to give a very solid result that will be resistant to cracking/flexing etc , this bit looks gruesome but my new plasma cutter made short work of it :D

 

Dude :devil:
