When the arches were fitted the bodyline looking from the front wasnt right, so spend quite a while adding metal arches on the wings b 4 I could fit the plastic arches and then side skirts, then resprayed the front again. pics here.

I don't like the front, but you've done an A1 job of fitting it and making it look right. Good effort, keep it up

All the repairs done on the sills and boot floor, now I can start modifying the rear subframe to take the heavy 6" springs that will replace the rubber cones same as the front, pics here.

New rear suspension components now made, this setup is similar to the front using custom 6" spings special holding cups recessed 2" into the subframe and shortened and adjustable arms complete the setup, see pics here.
