Yellow i think, i`ve seen differnet colour cars with forest arches on and the only few i`ve seen that i think look good with them are white yellow and red.
Yellow is my 1st choice out of those.
But its gunna be some time before its painted so i may change my mind

[yellow peril]

top colour choice....... then i would say that...he he he

Been busy with the inner arch the last couple of days.

Its a lot more involved than i 1st thought... :58_90:

The whole inner arch has to be plated, some thing which i was a bit short sighted about...
But the o/s/r is there now
So its just the other 3 to do, although the front 2 wont be half as hard as the rear ones... :stuckin: I hope!!


Heres my new inner arch just being fitted.




Heres it welded into place, put the wheel back on just to check its in the centre :compress:



And the finished article... Ithink some new wheels are the order of the day!!!


What to tackle next???????
Hmmmm.... decisions decisions!!!

Cheers mate.

Started the other side today, going to wait while i get the front spoiler before i fit the fronts then i can work then round that...
Took half the spare wheel well away, it was rusted to max... No suprise there then!!




Only just come in the house... LOL

Still a long way to go yet mate...

Finished the inner arch now on the n/s, put a little ledge in to square it off as the battery is going to sit where the spare wheel used to...
Arch should be fitted tommorow and will be looking something like the otherside...
Filler city!!! :brilsmurf:






The onslaught continues......

[Banishit]

youre doing a hell of a job keep it up

by the way what do you do for a job ? panel beater ?

[M11RF]

No, i work in a call centre... LOL...
My dads a mechanic and i`ve always been in the garage from being a young lad, if i get stuck he helps out... :colors:
I`m "letting him" (lol) do all the filling cos i`m not very good at it, and all the panels would end up like bananas...

[Blower]

well at least its yellow :albino:

[M11RF]

Been busy the last couple of days, the o/s arch is now filled and has been primed... looks good too, cheers dad.
The n/s arch is fitted and awaiting filler...
Been scaping all the sh1t off in the boot and rear quarters and flatting that down ready for painting, cheers for the help Johnny. I`ve still got the underside to do yet... That should be good fun.
May be getting some wheels this weekend for it. 5 spoke revos. 15x9s
Just hope they fit!!

[M11RF]

Not done anything on the car today, been to get the wheels and they look f***** awsome!!!
Ooooohh, i can`t wait now!
Need to get the front arch on but i know they`ll fit!!!

[Frosticles]

Now, they are nice wheels....................

[M11RF]

Cheers mate, they look brill on the car, will fill the arches out a treat!!
Its really spurred me on seeing them on the car, i can see how they are going to look when its finished...
