I cut sections into the arch and folded it out to the same angle then will weld it up.

Your dedication is second to none,
i cant believe all that work you have done because you were board?

The pics before the doors came off showed your car looking mint, then a little further
down your topic the doors are off and the arches are being modified.

Alot of members could learn so much from your dedication and from what i see,
do what it takes to get the job just the way you want it.

If that sounded confusing i was trying to say.

WOW
Gobsmacked
Lovin it
Top Job.

Thanks for you comments they are appreciated.

Im just itching to get it on the road now, it may sound like an easy task taking you car for an MOT, but when its been completely rebuilt with components never designed for that vechicle things get tricky!

Anyway MOT!!

It failed nothing major just lose rear wheel bearings, rear number plate lights, tight handbrake cable, and head lamp adjustment (im sure everybody gets that one!!)

But hay got to drive it and boy is it fast did'nt even bring it on boost due to running the engine in.

My mate got a few pics going through Rivica of his phone so quality aint great.
