got the lip for for holding the infill to the kit welded and sealed on the passenger side



also got the nose cone ends bonded to the cone and fitted rive nuts so it can be fitted and removed from the car (hate painting them with the nose cone on)







front panel sealed and primed





first coat of filler on the rear arch



hopefully get the drivers side into primer tomorrow

good to see more updates there .are u painting inbehind the x-pack kit ?
or oh u have done before u fitted it .
just being nosey m8.
those unversal arch lips ford the front on the rs are handy eh for ur job.
comeing on good
keep up the good work.

Don't need to paint the back of the kit just going to waxoil round the joint after it is painted once the filler strips from the new lips to the kit are fitted just going to underseal whats left. The arch lips are handy on the rear ones even more than the front but are bloody dear at £55 for 4 but still better than having to make them

nice progress with the rs , are you skiding the front ? thats what i did with mine , made it a lot stronger under there and finnished it off nice . you are doing a cracking job for the old boy he will be happy .

[MalcolmRs2000]

What does skidding the front mean, Alex?

[0630154]

its a process they use in rallying grp 2-4 under the front where the metal from the front floor pan and under the wing to chassis area the metal comes in at a angle like 2 triangles joined together and formed and welded to seal everything off , but it is very strong and holds everything together in place .
