Leaving it unarched Lee , the outers are being replaced , having them done by someone who knows what they are doing ! who is also going to do the respray , the problem with arching it is the cost of the arches ,tubs etc. and the main reason for me is that you need the hardware to fill them ,cannot afford to go Atlas and GRP4 Hubs etc.

I intend to do a few Forrest events around Yorkshire and Notts when I have saved up some more money after the rebuild.

Well finally got it painted yesterday a little later than the planned Easter date
I have managed to complete the re-wiring of the whole car and fitted a new dash with gauges ,switches and trip fuses also a new heater and window demister unit ,pumps and Varley red top ( as you can imagine all at quite a cost hence the extended rebuild time )
Have got some pics but not sure how to get them off a phone onto an the onto this BB ?
I still have not found out what he colours are on the Stripes and the dimensions if anyone knows please PM me .
Will try and gt pics up as soon as possible ,any guidance from you IT proficient boys would be welcome ,I have some on the IPad but cannot get them off Photobucket by the usual means .
Cheers

Can you email the photos from your phone to yourself and then sign in your emails on your computer and download them that way?

Looking forward to see the new paint job.
