ok , fathers day ... started off by moving front arches back a bit ,
i am happy with position now , can allways tweak later.. and dont forget car has to be lower yet
stuck some duck tape over holes :
did both sides , then turned front end over
and it was raining! so had to do it all inside ,
quick shot of rad setup :
fibre glassed both arches on , :
put front end back on car , then removed tape
then slapped some filler on !
gave both sides a quick sand
then took it for a sneaky drive !!!!
wow its quick !!!Comment

green , with Orange roof , and maybe orange mexico stripes .Originally posted by HarrierTony View Post
it used to be my dads team colours in the 60's ( he had a mini , and his friend had a mk1 escort )
Team Orchard they called themselfs...
but he cant remember if his friends escort had orange stripes or not and he has lost his friends contact details ( gone to states )

ok got bored / not much progress in the last few days , coming off the high of driving it tried working on wiper motor setup but getting nowhere slowley ...
so turned my attention to back seat area ,
cut 4 inchs off the bottom of the subaru back seat foam , after picking /cutting all the clips off.
fits allot better now :
back sits nice
then cut out the wire frame from cut off foam bit, need to weld this back onto the seat so it can mount
