[jonesye30]

[Alex]

[jonesye30]

na tryes r just under the back there are two axel stands on the points on the sills.

[Alex]

thank god

[cypriot_boy_2k7]

looking good mate, how would you go about tacking the inner arches?

[jonesye30]

the lips have been rolled on the new arches, the inners have been plated, then welded to the lips (that were rolled) so there are completely water tight..

lol didnt mean to post 3. sorry folks

Delete the other 2 posts then ?

BTW - coming on well - keep it up and looking forward to the finish

[oakey]

The bumpers are supposed to be painted, not chrome as they would have most likely come off a sport.

[jonesye30]

o rite thannx, but there is chrome underneath, as the paint has peeled one the one corner, and it is not keyed underneath it

[jonesye30]

sorry no pics of the inners taht have been welded, (cypriot_boy_2k7) as either side has been shiltzed now so it is not visable really

[whipsey]

looking good where did you get the arch panels from?

[cypriot_boy_2k7]

can you buy inner repair panels?

[jonesye30]

i believe u can buy inner arch repair panels. some where like sel, or rash repairs, midland lamp and panel, will supply and ship to oyu. cheers

[jonesye30]
