version 4 sti rebuild
hi pics of my rebuild here it is bfore i took it apart
stripping it down
rear arche rotton
grinding it back to clean metal
i cut it back to fresh metal then welded a sequence of small square plates in place then got a template and put it on top of it to get my arch line
i then got my line of the template then cut it out to get my new arch
then cut a strip of metal at 15mm for my lip then tack welded it on now just needing caty and smoothing in
got some caty on
then engine out and clean the bay
new wings and going for paint
as not in a job at the min i got a cheap job done £350
got the trims and rubbers back on and going for the no spoiler look
got the carpets and seats back in
more pics to follow

wish i had the spaceto strip my motor down,nothing wrong with the cheap spray job as you say,£££ talks,is it good enough for yrs to come or just a base coat for a yr ?
£350 not a bad price for what looks more than just a blow over
