Thanks, lump in throat when you make first cut!
Then it's a case of no looking back, and hope it works out!
Pleased so far, there is a glimmer of light lol.
Think I was born with a grinder attached, use one most days at work!

Awesome job on that Pod mate, I like your style

Car coming on a treat and that road to the workshop looks ideal for an Escort!

finally getting round to fitting arches, after a bit of tweaking with chinese wings, making a bit more progress

[sidney]

Going to be bonding arches on with adhesive hopefully stop moisture getting in and stop warping, as with welding.
On with other side tomorrow old pattern wing fits alot better.

[vinny]

great work as usual m8, keep the pics coming

[sidney]

not sure if this is a genuine wing but fit is much better than pattern wing, some numbers on it.


got other front arch cut out and offered up
