Hey guys I posted a thread a while ago asking for pics of classics without skirts (thanks for all the pics) After looking at them and speaking to a fellow scooby owner I've made the decision to take em off!!! Its going to be an on going project as it will need holes welded up etc! There are a few mods I want to do as well, to the bumpers (don't worry nothing radical just simple mods that you would only notice if you look closely)and bodywork to clean the lines up and get that smooth look I'm after. Heres a couple of pics before the skirts were taken off;
In between; (look at all the crap thats collected over 11 years!!)
And finally after;
My numberplate project (I want to put it back in OEM place but not block my FMIC too much )
Just need to glue some black mesh on the back and bosh job done!!
Prob a little bit obsessive but hey its a bit different!!!
Fair bit of work to do now (including lowering it!!!!) finishing off with a full respray!! Any comments/suggestions gratefully received

Yes it probably does at the mo (although its the same look as an RA and the works cars didn't have them either!!) but theres a lot more to go into it before its finished, and hopefully it won't look like a GL then!!

Would prefer 17's but what you've done is really good, much cleaner looking.
How much work was involved? all those clip holes must have been a nightmare ?
Thanks. The clip holes are still there (12 on each side plus the ones in the bumper) Got to weld them all up, grind off, then tidy em up and paint em! Time consuming but IMO well worth the effort.
i am afraid that i do think that the RA models look like GL converted jobbies as well, sorry chaps, but they just look to skinny and underdeveloped IMO
Thanks for all the comments! Skirts have now been sold so there is no going back now (front splitter for sale if anyone wants it make me an offer!) Does anybody know where I can get -50mm lowering springs from??
