how much wider as those are only about standard not much more.

You will need custom made wings to go wider than standard

 so what track in inches? and where where will the hub pivots be? further out or as original?

[stumpy75]

Ive yet to do the calculations/measurements but from speaking to the guy ime getting the subframe engine and rear beam axle from its using k series metro track width i dont knw what that is atm he seemed to think 3 inches would be fine

[nicklouse]

there are options out there of the shelf. up to about 63-64" on standard hubs.

I have seen similar things done on a Cortina estate. They basically sectioned and split the wings, doors and quarter panels.

 

They then pulled the wings, doors etc to get the basic shape and added sections of steel to tie it all up. Sounds straight forward but its not and its time consuming.
