Bit late for that now m8

she did look well thou

Looking forward to seeing this turn out as well as the other cars mate:notworthy

looking forward to seeing this one.

I've fitted the front brakes today (prodrive alcons) and finally got all four wheels on . suspension lowered as much as I dare so now I can see where the bodywork has got to be . Wheels are 18" x 8" with an offset of 12 .
I've cut about 30mm off the rear 1/4 panel round the shape of the arch which lines up the shorter wrc rear bumper and also does away with the dogleg . I've also cut the inner arch away so I've got plenty of clearance for suspension travel I'll weld new plates in once I've widened the back .
Not much at the front today a bit of modification on the headlamp panel to fit the hawkeye headlamp , front wings need to be at least 25mm wider and I'll probably cut the arch bigger to match the rears .pics not brilliant I'm afraid

OMG...:eek:

Thants a great idear:thumb:

Why didn't I think of that...:wonder:

Keep up the good work, mate :notworthy

is it easier to cut and weld up the skin rather then bond on a rear arch kit?

in retrospect i wish i had cut the full dogleg off mine before i fitted the 22b arches as i had to go back in and hack them off at a later date, spent ages trying to work out why the tyres were still rubbing and all the paint under the arch was untouched :lol:

No mate it's not , just fancied a different approach to this one

Oh indeed-a-rooney..

will be lighter in the end as well :thumb:

subscribed!

Because i want a wrc front bumper :D

cheers marcus

i think i'm going to want the whole car off him! :lol1:

Next weeks job m8 :thumb:
