Skids are from Roy Nunn and are well made.

Got the skids and brackets fully welded in now, after blasting the front floor pans had tiny wee pin pricks off light showing through in one or two places, the decision was made to put a couple of invisible repair sections in.







Front of tunnel had a couple of holes where it joins the bulkhead so it was taken out at the factory joins and a new panel from expressed panels installed, a very well made panel that fits spot on, not welded at rear as this will be modded for gearbox install.

Great work paul, how much were the brackets?....might get some for my van

Been at the MK1 again today, got to admit this was a bit that I was not looking forward to, cutting a big lump out of a mates car. Anyway, the bubbles come from express with quite a bit of excess metal that needs trimmed off and dressed, after thats done its a case of several trial fits, lining up the swage lines and the side bumper hole in the wing, once I had it clamped and stood back the swage lines flowed well, checked many many photos of original factory/dealer/team fitted wings (thanks everyone who supplied them), then I called my mate in to agree the fit prior to cutting, when he said he was happy we marked around the panel, removed the bubble then marked a second line about 40mm down from the first, the wing was then cut and cleaned, the bubble was then slid up inside the wing and clamped ready for spot welding around, got to say I am happy with the fit.

First of many trial fits on the outside







How much are these mk1 wings selling for now





Bubble slid under wing ready for spotting
